It’s been a long, long time since Broadway last held a Tony Awards ceremony. Tonight, after a 27-month hiatus, the event honoring Broadway’s best plays and musicals is back. There will be plenty of awards — 25 competitive categories in all this year — and lots of speeches. This year’s Tony Awards are taking place, live and in-person, at Broadway’s Winter Garden Theater, starting at 7 p.m. Eastern, and scheduled to end at 11. Most of the awards will be announced during the first two hours, at a ceremony hosted by the six-time Tony winner Audra McDonald.
