VIDEO: Ariana DeBose Teases What to Expect From the Tony Awards on CBS MORNINGS

Ariana DeBose appeared on CBS Mornings today to discuss hosting the 75th Annual Tony Awards this Sunday, June 12.

DeBose discussed her previous experiences as a Tony nominee, gave advice to this year's nominees, and teased how they will be honoring Broadway swings and understudies at this year's ceremony.

"I have many things up my sleeve. And it's from a real, genuine place because the reality is, those are the folks who have kept Broadway alive. And it's not just swings and understudies, it's also dance captains, associates, stage managers, everyone in the pit," DeBose said. "So those are the folks we're focused on shining very genuine, bright light on because the show must go on. We can't do it without every single person."
