Lin-Manuel Miranda had been tapped to write an opening number for the Broadway awards show but stopped in solidarity with the WGA, members of which have stopped working since May 2.
This decision was made after Tony Awards Productions told the union they would make changes to the show “to conform with specific requests from the WGA,” the guild said in a statement.
“Responsibility for having to make changes to the format of the 2023 Tony Awards rests squarely on the shoulders of Paramount/CBS and their allies,” the statement said. “They continue to refuse to negotiate a fair contract for the writers represented by the WGA.”
