The 76th Annual Tony Awards

For the first time, the Tony Awards will be presented at the historic United Palace. The United Palace opened in 1930 as one of five Loew's "Wonder Theatres," premiere vaudeville and movie houses located in four boroughs of New York City and New Jersey. With nearly 3,400 seats, the United Palace is Manhattan's fourth largest theatre and hosts concerts, movie premieres, film shoots and other events. The United Palace serves the Washington Heights community by showcasing the performing and visual art of local artists - many of them school children - and housing the non-profit Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance. The Antoinette Perry Award for Excellence in Broadway Theatre, more commonly known as the Tony Award, recognizes excellence in live Broadway theatre.
