Don't have broadcast TV? Not a problem. You need to get CBS All-Access, the network's streaming service, which offers a live stream of your local CBS station. It's $5.99 a month, and you can even sign up for a free trial. (Plus, you also get access to The Good Fight, The Twilight Zone, and decades-worth of classic CBS hits like I Love Lucy).

You don't want to miss the Tonys, which will feature performances by the companies of Ain't Too Proud — The Life and Times of the Temptations, Beetlejuice, The Cher Show, Choir Boy, Hadestown, Kiss Me, Kate, Oklahoma!, The Prom, and Tootsie. The evening will also feature a special performance by Cynthia Erivo.

Hosted by James Corden, the evening will feature appearances by Sara Bareilles, Laura Benanti, Abigail Breslin, Kristin Chenoweth, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Josh Groban, Danai Gurira, Jake Gyllenhaal, Christopher Jackson, Shirley Jones, Jane Krakowski, Lucy Liu, Aasif Mandvi, Sienna Miller, Catherine O'Hara, 2019 Tony Nominee Kelli O'Hara, Anthony Ramos, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Marisa Tomei, Samira Wiley, BeBe Winans, Darren Criss, Tina Fey, Sutton Foster, Samuel L.
