This year’s Tony Awards ceremony, which had been in doubt ever since Hollywood’s screenwriters went on strike earlier this month, will proceed as scheduled in an altered form after the writers’ union said Monday night that it would not picket the show.

“As they have stood by us, we stand with our fellow workers on Broadway who are impacted by our strike,” the Writers Guild of America, which represents screenwriters, said in a statement late Monday.

The union made it clear that the broadcast, which is scheduled to air on CBS on June 11, would be different from past ceremonies. But the union did not spell out what those differences would be, and the Tony Awards administrators did not have any immediate comment. It is expected that the broadcast will still feature awards honoring the best plays and musicals of the 2022-23 Broadway season, but it is not clear how musical numbers, which are a key marketing opportunity for many shows, will be affected.

“Tony Awards Productions (a joint venture of the Broadway League and the American Theater Wing) has communicated with us that they are altering this year’s show to conform with specific requests from the W.G.A., and therefore the W.G.A. will not be picketing the show,” the union said in a statement. “Responsibility for having to make changes to the format of the 2023 Tony Awards rests squarely on the shoulders of Paramount/CBS and their allies. They continue to refuse to negotiate a fair contract for the writers represented by the W.G.A.”

Though the Tony Awards is not a big ratings draw compared to other awards shows, the televised ceremony is a critical marketing opportunity for the theater industry, which is still drawing audiences well below prepandemic figures.
