On BroadwayRadio's third annual Tony Omnibus episode, we look to fill in some of the gaps that have popped up in the theatre community's coverage of the award season. So often our focus during this five-week buildup to Sunday night's ceremony is on the performers and the writers who are front and center during this process. However, today, we are talking to two Tony nominees whose impact on their shows is no less important, despite the fact that they aren't the people getting the glossy stories in the New York and theatre media. We also talk to a journalist who brings important context to the New York theatre community.
Below, we're taking you inside Radio City Music Hall just days before the big night to catch up on what Bareilles and Groban have been working on, plus you can catch a sneak peek of Gavin Lee and the company of SpongeBob SquarePants onstage!

Each year, the Tony Awards honor Broadway's best and brightest from the current season. And though the awards are many, each year there are a few shows that bring a little something new and different to the stage that deserve their own brand of recognition.
