The full list of presenters has not yet been announced.

How are the Tony Awards different this year?

Because of the ongoing WGA strike, this year's ceremony will look different from those of past years. How? We're not entirely sure yet, but viewers will likely notice a difference in material that is usually pre-written for the ceremony, ie: host chat, presenter speeches, etc.
