Revisiting the list of announced presenters, I was happy to see how many Asian-Americans will be on the Tony stage:
Utkarsh Ambudhar, Darren Criss, Telly Leung, Ruthie Ann Miles, Phillipa Soo, George Takei and Bowen Yang.
Growing up, and watching the Tonys through the years, I often hoped to see at least ONE Asian face on the Tonys, so this is amazing.
Next: I hope there are more Broadway shows that give them a shot to be nominated, and even win. (Ditto for Latinos and Native Americans!)
Below, Criss, who will co-host the Paramount+ hour with Julianne Hough, says he's written an opening number for their Tony segment. |
