We are yet another day closer to the biggest night on every theatre-lover's calendar- the 69th Annual Tony Awards, which will be co-hosted by Kristin Chenoweth and Alan Cumming on Sunday, June 7 (8PM on CBS). Earlier this month, the 2015 Tony nominees gathered to meet the press and BroadwayWorld was on hand for the big day. Below, we bring you an exclusive interview with producers Stuart Oken and Van Kaplan, Best Musical nominees for An American in Paris.

The romantic story of a young American soldier, a beautiful French girl and an indomitable European city are at the heart of Broadway's breathtakingly beautiful new musical, An American in Paris. The New York Times raves it's "a triumph! Gorgeous, just plain gorgeous!" The Wall Street Journal calls it "a masterpiece! An old-fashioned, big-hearted spare-no-expense Broadway romance that instantly catapults Christopher Wheeldon into the ranks of top-tier director-choreographers, like Jerome Robbins and Bob Fosse. It's been years-decades, really-since I last saw a production like this." And Newsday cheers it's "an extraordinary evening with exuberant, sweeping innovation, dark historical understanding and a big, smart heart."

Don't forget to tune in to BroadwayWorld for Broadway's biggest night, the 69th Annual Tony Awards. The stars will align at Radio City Music Hall on Sunday, June 7, 2015 and we'll be bringing you exclusive, live photos, videos and blogs of everything that's happening from the red carpet to the winners' room; the pre-show ceremony to the after parties. We'll be there for it all, and there's no better place for comprehensive coverage this Sunday than BroadwayWorld!
