Ariana DeBose kicked off the unscripted Tony Awards on Sunday with an upbeat dance number and monologue, which supported the WGA strike
Sunday night in a style befitting the festivities with a choreographed dance number that turned the whole United Palace in the Washington Heights neighborhood of New York City — from the lobby to theater aisle — into a stage and had her peers on their feet for a standing ovation. But what it didn’t have, was a script or backing writers.
Oscar winner showed solidarity with the Writers Guild of America strike in her opening monologue. She explained that the opening number showed her flipping through a script with blank pages. “Our siblings who are at the WGA are currently on strike in pursuit of a fair deal,” she said of the symbolism. Given that WGA writers typically write awards show scripts, the Tonys and the WGA had to come to a compromise to bring the show to fruition this year.
