63rd Annual Tony Awards

Nominations for the American Theatre Wing’s 63rd Annual Antoinette Perry “Tony”® Awards in 27 competitive categories  were announced May 5th, 2009 by Tony Award Winners Cynthia Nixon (Sex in the City) and Lin-Manuel Miranda (In the Heights). The Nominee Announcement was broadcast live on CBS morning news.

This year’s Tony Award Nomination Announcement was expanded to include 5 plasma screens on a support structure for graphics accompanying the names of the nominees. Audio Visual Services from SmartSource Rentals were selected to design and construct the support structure, provide the plasma display monitors, and aid in the production of the graphics on a short time line beginning the evening before the presentation. In addition providing Audio Visual services and equipment for the Nominee Announcement, SmartSource Rentals also handled the press room operation on the Sunday night of the Tony Awards (June 7th, 2009) providing a stage and sound system for press interviews of the winners, and monitors for viewing of the Tony Awards broadcast throughout the Rainbow Room.

SmartSource Rentals has been involved in the Tony Award presentations since 2000 (formerly as ACE AV).

This event was sponsored by IBM. The nominees were selected by an independent committee of 26 theatre professionals appointed by the Tony Awards Administration Committee. The 2009 Tony Awards are presented by The Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing. Marking 63 years of excellence on Broadway, The Tony Awards was broadcasted live from Radio City Music Hall on CBS, Sunday, June 7th, 8:00 – 11:00 p.m. (ET/PT time delay).
