Wednesday April 29th is the annual Meet the Press Reception for all of 2015's Tony nominees. This event will also take place at the Paramount Hotel.
Friday May 15th is the Tony Nominee Luncheon. Located in the Paramount's Diamond Horseshoe, this is a private event for the nominees and is closed to all media.
Sunday June 7th is the 69th Annual Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall. The awards will be broadcast by CBS from 8:00-11:00 pm EST.
One show which won't be hunting for Tony Awards this season is The Heart of Robin Hood. The production is currently playing in Toronto (and also received a recent staging at ART) and was originally booked for the Marriott Marquis Theatre this spring.
The Broadway bow came with a contractual end date in August. The producers, citing booming business with the Toronto mounting, have chosen to scrap the move to Broadway this season. The show has extended for an additional four weeks at the Royal Alexandria Theatre in Toronto. They hope to bring the show to New York when a longer Broadway run is possible.
The Gloria Estefan backed musical "On Your Toes" is already set to play the Marquis in the fall.
