Who is hosting the show?

The 2017 Tonys will be hosted by… Kevin Spacey!

“I was their second choice for Unusual Suspects, fourth choice for American Beauty, and 15th choice to host this year’s Tony Awards,” the actor said in a statement. “I think my career is definitely going in the right direction. Maybe I can be shortlisted to host the Oscars if everyone else turns it down.”

The Oscar winner has been nominated for two Tonys throughout his career. He won the Best Featured Actor in a Play award back in 1991 for his performance in Lost in Yonkers.
