    Cynthia Erivo, the recently Oscar-nominated actress for her appearance in “Wicked,” will host Broadway’s biggest night at the 2025 Tony Awards in June, the American Theatre Wing and Broadway League announced Wednesday.

    The awards show is set to take place on June 8 at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Nominations for the 78th Annual Tony Awards have not yet been announced. 

    Erivo, 38, is no stranger to the Tony Awards. In 2016, she won Best Actress in a Musical for her breakout role in “The Color Purple.” The “Wicked” star is one of the few talents who has been nominated for the Tony, Emmy, Grammy and Oscar. She has won all of them except the Oscar, for which she is nominated this year for her role as Elphaba.

    “I am so proud and excited to take on this glorious honor,” Erivo said in a statement. “I am looking forward to ushering the theater community at large through a night that celebrates the wonderful performances we have witnessed throughout the year. I hope I can rise to the occasion.”
