The 78th Annual Tony Awards achieved its largest TV audience in six years, attracting 4.85 million viewers on CBS, a 38% increase from 2024. Paramount+ also saw a record-breaking streaming audience, up 208% year-over-year. This success follows a period of lower viewership due to the pandemic and scheduling conflicts. While viewership remains below pre-pandemic levels, the increase signifies a positive rebound for the awards ceremony.
