The singer/songwriters, who are both Broadway alums, will co-host the Tonys on June 10. The duo made the announcement in a video cross-posted to both of their Twitter accounts. “CRAZY AMAZING NEWS ALERT!!!!” Bareilles wrote in her tweet. “I literally don’t have words so I’ll do this with emojis. Added Groban: "AM SO HAPPY I COULD CRY BUT ITS MIDNIGHT IN JAPAN SO I WILL SLEEP BUT ‼‼‼‼" This will be the first time either one of them has hosted an awards show, but they've each been nominated for Tonys in recent years. They succeed Kevin Spacey, who hosted months before his sexual misconduct scandal. “I am humbled and ecstatic to be co-hosting the Tony Awards this year with such a brilliant artist and wonderful friend, Sara Bareilles,” Groban said in a statement. “The theater has completely transformed my life in every way possible," added Bareilles in her statement. "I have never felt more embraced and encouraged by a professional community, and I am so grateful for that,” Bareilles said in a statement."
