NEW YORK -- What's better than one person carrying an entire show? Tonight, nearly 60 presenters will step up to the podium to celebrate 60 years of the Tony Awards.

Viewers can tune in to "The 60th Annual Tony Awards" at 8 p.m. on Channel 2, for the ninth year being broadcast live from Radio City Music Hall. A virtual parade of theater royalty will be handing out the statuettes: Julie Andrews, James Earl Jones, Audra McDonald, Patricia Neal, Chita Rivera, Glenn Close and Bernadette Peters are among the recruits.
