78th Annual Tony Awards with a Red Carpet Party
Hartford Stage will celebrate the 78th Annual Tony Awards with a Red Carpet Party on Sunday, June 8, 2025, in their downtown theater at 50 Church Street in Hartford. This festive fundraiser caps a season of curated events replacing a traditional annual gala. Tickets start at just $100 and include an open bar, fun snacks, and a seat in the theater to watch the Tony Awards live on a big screen. The $200 All-Access Pass holders can arrive early for a catered cocktail reception by Fire by Forge and enjoy a photo op with Hartford Stage’s own Tony Awards.
The Red Carpet Party at Hartford Stage is a chance to enjoy a dazzling night out while supporting one of Hartford’s most celebrated arts institutions. Whether you’re a Broadway superfan or just love a good party, this event is your excuse to dress up, sip creative cocktails, and watch the Tony Awards—all in great company. With games, prizes, and red carpet photo ops, it’s a night not to miss.
Hartford Stage is no stranger to the Tony Awards. In 1989, it received the prestigious Regional Theater Tony Award, and in 2014, it was honored for developing A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder, which won Best New Musical. The production was directed by Darko Tresnjak, Hartford Stage’s Artistic Director at the time, who also won Best Director of a Musical.
This year’s 78th Tony Awards return to Radio City Music Hall, where Tony, Emmy, and Grammy-winning Host, Cynthia Erivo, will surely make it a night to remember. Why watch from home, when you can celebrate in style—all the glitz of NYC, right here in Hartford!
