Tony Award winners Jessie Mueller and James Monroe Iglehart will host this year's Creative Arts Tony Awards, which will take place during the first hour of the Tony Awards ceremony at Radio City Music Hall on June 7. The Creative Arts Awards consist of 14 categories in the areas of design.

Mueller received the 2014 Tony Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical for her performance in Beautiful — The Carole King Musical, and Iglehart received the 2014 Tony Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical for his performance in Aladdin.

"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.

The televised Tony Awards ceremony will be hosted by Tony winner and current nominee Kristin Chenoweth (On the Twentieth Century) and Tony winner Alan Cumming (Cabaret). The awards will be broadcast on CBS from 8-11pm ET.
