Broadway meets community as The Muny, Greater St. Louis Inc., KMOV and Ballpark Village proudly announce a Tony Awards Watch Party on Sunday, June 8, to benefit St. Louis tornado relief efforts. The watch party begins at 5 p.m. CT.

The Muny will receive the 2025 Regional Theatre Tony Award as part of The Tony Awards: Act One, a preshow ceremony starting at 5:40 p.m. CT.

    The free, public event will take place at Ballpark Village, where guests can watch Broadway’s biggest night live on the big screen, surrounded by fans, friends and fellow supporters of the arts and the St. Louis community.

    The watch party will be hosted by Tony nominee, Muny alum and Missouri native Taylor Louderman, along with KMOV’s Great Day St. Louis co-host Laura Hettiger, bringing star power and hometown pride to this celebration of theatre and resilience.

    Admission is free, but attendees are asked to bring a nonperishable food item or toiletry donation to support the St. Louis Area Foodbank, or make a monetary gift upon entry to support Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis, two organizations working tirelessly to assist those impacted by recent severe weather across the region.

This year’s celebration holds special significance for St. Louis, as The Muny will be honored during the ceremony as the 2025 recipient of the Regional Theatre Tony Award. The prestigious award recognizes The Muny’s exceptional contribution to the American theatre landscape and its unwavering commitment to artistic excellence and community engagement for over 100 seasons. The award will be presented during The Tony Awards: Act One — a preshow of live, exclusive content leading into the 78th Annual Tony Awards, televised on CBS — streaming exclusively on Pluto TV.
