Attend the 2025 Tony Awards in NYC With VIP Tickets
It’s fantastic that there are so many Broadway shows being produced because it makes the Tony Awards even better! This glamorous event might just be our personal favorite award show. Every year, more than 30 diverse productions vie for more than two dozen awards ranging from Best New Musical to Best Choreography. Although the Tonys are turning 78, they haven’t lost their glamour with age. Like any great Broadway star, they know how to celebrate in style. We can’t wait to tell you more about our VIP tickets and after-party passes for the 2025 Tony Awards.
When Are the 2025 Tony Awards?
The 78th Annual Tony Awards are going down on Sunday, June 8th, 2025 (officially announced) in never bored or sleepy New York City. Naturally, VIP Concierge is standing by with VIP tickets for yourself and whomever you decide to bring along for the ride and all the fun of not just the award show, but the parties. And these aren’t just neighborhood get-togethers. Major media outlets report that the Broadway award show is returning to the legendary Radio City Music Hall after a two-year hiatus, which makes 2025 even more exciting.
The parties going down during the Tony Awards are legendary for being the coolest of the cool. They’re typically only for those with industry connections and sway. That’s just one more reason to work with VIP Concierge. You get sway by the bunch, like bananas, when you work with us. Who else can set you up with tickets to the biggest and best award show dedicated to live theater? [Cue the crickets.] New York also serves up at hearty dose of nightlife whether you plan on clubbing your way through Midtown or seeing world-class jazz in Lower Manhattan.
Nominations, Revivals, Award-Winning Plays and More
Broadway’s cool because it welcomes the old, the new, the newly old and the oldly new. In other words, revivals! Plays that were hot in the past are dug out of the self-storage locker, dusted off, recast and reborn–usually to the kind of accolades that new films or songs get. New plays are treated like treasure maps. And stage versions of books and films invariably find the path to the great white way. Water for Elephants is based on Sara Gruen’s book by the same name, and S.E. Hinton’s The Outsiders describes the social and socioeconomic rift between rival gangs dubbed the Greasers and the Socs.
Theater stays the same by changing. Every show is different, and every night brings something new. This is true on Broadway and during the industry’s biggest award show. Like any Broadway fan, we get excited about the long list of nominees. And we love to speculate about who will be chosen for their work over the 2024-2025 season. In addition to honoring hard-working Broadway stars, the Tonys have recognized Hollywood stalwarts like Jessica Lange, Billy Crystal, Hugh Jackman and Sam Rockwell. Innovators like Joel Gray and John Kander have been recognized for their career achievements.
In 2024, musical-themed programs Stereophonic and Hell’s Kitchen made waves before the award show for reeling in over a dozen nominations each. Stereophonic, which follows a 1970s band into the recording studio was the overall winner, claiming five Tony awards, including a trophy for Best Play. Meanwhile, The Outsiders claimed the coveted Best Musical award. It was also a big year for Broadway newcomers, with all eight winners receiving their first award and many receiving their first-ever nomination.
What Are the Tony Awards?
The Tony awards are one of the big four award shows. They’re comparable to the Emmys for achievements in television, the Grammys for songwriting and musical performances and the Oscars, which recognize the year’s greatest films. Just a handful of stars have been able to win one of each!
The award is officially known as the Antoinette Perry Award for Excellence in Broadway Theatre, but they almost always go by their nickname. Tonys are handed out jointly by the American Theatre Wing and The Broadway League, two theater associations that advocate for the industry and its members. The award was first conceived in 1947, and it’s been an annual tradition in New York City ever since.
What to Expect at the 2025 Tony Awards
The Tony Awards honor the year’s best plays, musicals and revivals, but fans are treated to a whole lot more. Awards are presented by A-list stars that represent a who’s who of the stage and screen.
- In 2024, Tonys were handed out by Ben Platt, Jeffrey Wright, Idina Menzel, Pete Townshend, Nick Jonas and Angelina Jolie, among many others.
- Fans were treated to stupendous renditions of hits from Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club, Stereophonic, Illinoise, Merrily We Roll Along,
- Water for Elephants and others.
- Award-winning productions like The Outsiders and the Alicia Keys bioplay Hell’s Kitchen had a chance to strut their stuff before hauling a wagon load of awards home.
- Host Ariana DeBose and special guests Bebe Neuwirth, Audra McDonald and Brian Stokes Mitchell brought down the house with a touching tribute to triple-threat Chita Rivera, who passed away earlier in the year.

After-Parties at the Tonys
After the award show, the fun heats up with celebrity-hosted bashes that go strong until the wee, small hours of the early morning. From smash burgers and Frosted Flakes to paella and ethnic specialties, the food at these parties is as diverse as the attendees. At past parties, VIPs enjoyed champagne and fresh fruit while rocking out to the Spice Girls and hanging out with celebrities like Josh Groban, Sara Bareilles, Michelle Williams, Ben Platt and Alex Newell.
Book Your VIP Tickets to the 78th Annual Tony Awards
Since the nominees and celebrity guests are too numerous to list, we’ll conclude by bringing you the good news that we have VIP tickets to the 2025 Tony Awards and the star-studded after-parties that you really, really want. Typically, we have a selection of mid-section mezzanine tickets that will put you front and center at one of New York City’s most storied venues. Give us a call, or send us an email to learn more about our VIP ticket options.
Don’t delay. Pick up a pair or two before they sell out! Someone else is probably watching the calendar too. Get your tickets to the Tony Awards and any other plays that you’d like to see on, off- or off-off-Broadway before that other person buys them all. We’d hate to see that happen to you. That would be a tragedy worthy of Aeschylus or Arthur Miller. Be there for the Tony Awards’ 78th edition!
