"We are thrilled to have Jessie and James, two of our outstanding winners from last year, join us again on the Radio City Music Hall stage to help celebrate those who work tirelessly behind the scenes to create the beautiful productions audiences see on-stage every night," Heather Hitchens, president of the American Theatre Wing, and Charlotte St. Martin, president of the Broadway League, said in a statement.
