“I was honored to serve as host last year and even more so to be asked back! So looking forward to celebrating this incredible season and the people who make the work happen,” DeBose said in a statement. “Here’s to adding some uptown flavor to the magic of the Tony Awards!”
DeBose is a Broadway veteran, with roles in Summer: The Donna Summer Musical (2018), A Bronx Tale: The Musical (2016), Hamilton (2015), Pippin (2013), Motown: The Musical (2013), and Bring It On: The Musical (2012). She also won an Oscar for her role as Anita in Steven Spielberg's remake of West Side Story, and was even nominated for a Tony herself in 2018.
