The Tony Awards has announced the return of the “Official Tony Awards Challenge.” A partnership with Audience Rewards, Broadway’s loyalty program, the challenge allows fans to predict the winners of the 2024 Tony Awards.
The Tony nominations will be announced on April 30, at which point the challenge will begin. Individuals must be a member of Audience Rewards to participate. Players can adjust their ballots up until 3 p.m. ET on June 16, the day of the 77th annual Tony ceremony.
“Awards season is the most wonderful time of the year for Broadway fans, and our partnership with the Tony Awards offers an exciting way for fans to get involved,” said Katie Dalton, executive vice president of Audience Rewards, in a statement. “Audience Rewards gives theater fans insider access to Broadway, and the Tony Awards Challenge offers our biggest prize yet: a dream week on Broadway to see your favorite shows for free.”
One grand prize winner, who must correctly guess the winners in all 26 competitive Tony categories, will win a Broadway dream week package. The prize includes airfare to New York City, six-night stay at the Sofitel New York, tickets to five Broadway shows, tickets to the Museum of Broadway and gift cards to dine at theater district eateries Sardi’s, Glass House Tavern and Gaby Brasserie.
Runner-up winners will receive a pair of tickets to a Broadway show of their choice.
“We are thrilled to once again offer theater’s biggest fans a one-of-a-kind Broadway experience by partnering with Audience Rewards for the Official Tony Awards Challenge,” said Jason Laks, interim president of the Broadway League and Heather Hitchens, president and CEO of the American Theatre Wing. “The exceptional participation shown from fans across the country is always a terrific addition to awards season.”
