6 Tips To Make Your Tony Party A Show Stopper
Sofia Corrado

Since 1947, The Tony Awards have been presented to celebrate excellence in theatre. And has a Broadway nerd since 1997, it is one of my favorite events of the year. You can have your Oscars, Grammys, and Golden Globes… the Tony’s are my night to pig out with all of my friends and celebrate theatre and get a taste of the best that the Broadway season has to offer.

Hosting a Tony Awards viewing party is a great way to celebrate with friends at home and have a good time without paying upwards of $1,000 for a ticket to the actual show!

So here are some tips and tricks for hosting a great Tony Party!

1. Make a Pinterest Board

Pin anything from decor ideas to cupcake recipes, champagne jello shots, and Tony awards bingo; Pinterest is a great place to organize all of your ideas in one place!

2. Invite all your biggest Broadway Nerd Friends

Send out a mass text, e-vite, or create a facebook event… but gather all of your broadway music loving thespians together in one place. Why live tweet when you can gab with your friends over a boozy drink?

3. Pump up your guests before the show

I’m talking about watching all the Neil Patrick Harris performances and that time that Cynthia Erivo stopped the show with her performance of “I’m Here” and creating a Spotify playlist of all of your favorite Broadway sing-a-longs to set the mood before the awards show.

4. Print out those Tony Ballots!

Create a contest with your guests during the show by seeing who can guess the most winners or play a couple rounds of Tony Bingo. You can even make gift bags or tiny awards to give out as a prize at the end of the night for all of your winners.

5. Serve Broadway-themed food

There is nothing more fun than a cleverly themed party! A fun way to keep the theme is to theme your food and drinks around some of your favorite Broadway shows or musicals, or theatre in general! Make “Krabby Patties” for SpongeBob the Musical, a clambake for Carousel, or Kalteen Bars for the Regina George of your friend group.

6. Don’t forget to tune in on June 10 at 8 pm ET!

Tune into CBS Sunday, June 10th at 8 pm to see Sara Bareilles and Josh Groban host the 72nd annual Tony Awards!

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
