Last year the awards show was not available to watch live in the UK. This year the ceremony will be available to watch on streaming service Paramount+ in the US. Paramount+ had not launched in the UK when the awards took place last year, it has not yet been confirmed if UK viewers will also be able to watch the show on Paramount+.

Paramount+ offers a seven-day free trial in the UK, and is £6.99 a month thereafter. If the Tony Awards are not streamed on the site in the UK this year, you could access coverage using a virtual private network (VPN). 

Use of a VPN is legal in the UK and the US, but it must be used within legal guidelines. Using a VPN to access entertainment content from other countries is legal but may breach the terms and conditions of the broadcaster so always check CW guidelines.
