The bright lights of Broadway are shining brightly tonight as you watch the Tony Awards 2021 online--you'll need an online connection to see all of this year's shows. After a pandemic shut down productions, the theater industry is making a comeback. But now Broadway is back and the shows must go on.

Tony Award winner Audra McDonald will host the two-hour awards ceremony from Radio City Music Hall in New York City. The ceremony will be streamed exclusively on Paramount Plus.

Hamilton star Leslie Odom Jr. will then host The Tony Awards Presents: Broadway's Back! There will also be special performances by Tony Award nominees for Best Musical: Tony Award nominees for Best Musical, Jagged Little Pill, Moulin Rouge! The Musical, and Tina: The Tina Turner Musical! Three productions. The special program will also feature live presentations of the top three categories: best play, best revival of a play, and best musical.

Also, David Byrne and the cast of American Utopia, John Legend and the cast of Ain't Too Proud, Lin-Manuel Miranda and the cast of Freestyle Love Supreme, and the reunited cast of Hairspray performances can also be expected.

Here's everything you need to know about how to watch tonight's Tony Awards 2021 online.

Just because Paramount Plus and CBS aren't available everywhere doesn't mean you can't watch Tony Awards 2021 away from home. With the right VPN (Virtual Private Network), it's very easy to watch the show along with the rest of the Internet. You can stream the show wherever you are.

We evaluated many VPN services and our top recommendation is ExpressVPN. It meets the VPN needs of many users and offers excellent compatibility with most devices and amazing connection speeds. It's also affordable at $12.95/month. (Signing up for longer periods, such as 6 months or a year, further reduces the cost.)

In the U.S., theater lovers can watch the Tony Awards 2021 today, Sunday, September 26, at 7 p.m. ET on Paramount Plus for all subscribers.

Following the two-hour awards ceremony, the Tony Awards Presentations will air: Broadway is Back! on CBS and Paramount Plus Premium at 9 p.m. ET.

CBS is a local broadcast network accessible with the best TV antenna or cable TV package.

If you have already cut cable and do not have cable, you can watch CBS on live TV services like FuboTV, Hulu With Live TV, YouTube TV, and DirecTV Stream. Of these options, we recommend FuboTV, which is one of the best streaming services on the market.

You can also watch live broadcasts of local CBS stations on Paramount Plus if you subscribe to Premium.

Canadians are in luck: Paramount Plus is also available in Canada, so you can watch the Tony Awards 2021 if you subscribe.

Bad news for Brits. It appears that none of the UK channels are broadcasting Tony Awards 2021.

For travelers abroad, ExpressVPN can help you access streaming services to which you already subscribe.
