Ariana DeBose kicked off the 76th annual Tony Awards Sunday night with a rousing dance number and heartfelt salute of support to the writers’ strike — while also poking fun at the fact that this year’s ceremony will be historically without a script.
“I’m unscripted — as will every presenter who comes onstage tonight. We’re just making it up as we go along,” the “West Side Story Oscar winner said.
She also nodded to her hosting gig from last year’s ceremony: “To anyone who thought last year might’ve been a bit unhinged, to them I say: Darlings, buckle up.”
More to come…
