Tony Awards to broadcast without a script due to writers’ strike

The Writers Guild of America has agreed to let the Tony Awards broadcast despite the ongoing strike on the condition the show will go unscripted.

When the Writers Guild walked out this month, the Tony Awards were told by the union they could not broadcast. However, after the organizers agreed to certain concessions, they were given the go-ahead for their original June 11 broadcast date.As part of the agreement, the show will not use a prewritten script, and a rap performance from playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda will not take place.

“As they have stood by us, we stand with our fellow workers on Broadway who are impacted by our strike,” the Tony Awards said in a statement.
