What's On Tonight (Sunday): Everybody to your seats, Act One is about to begin

The Tony Awards: Act One

Come on get happy! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, June 8!

Our Top Pick tonight is The Tony Awards: Act One (Pluto TV, 6:40 p.m.). This pre-show/pre-ceremony isn't a red carpet special. It features some additional stuff about the year's nominees and presents other Tony Awards that are only mentioned in the main ceremony. It's the Tonys' version of the Creative Arts Emmys and the Grammy's Premiere Ceremony. Set designers and costumers and book writers, et al., deserve love too!

Elsewhere, there are Tonys to be won with Cynthia Erivo, the Dead consider an alliance, Rick and Morty go to a citadel, Simu Liu gets Happy, a Mortician goes to jail, and Eva Longoria goes to Asturias.

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Gracenote.)
