Kristen Chenoweth and Alan Cumming to Host Tonys

So on the same day that the American Theater Wing announced its nominees for the 69th Annual Tony Awards, they announce their hosts for the ceremony. Kristin Chenoweth hosted a few years back opposite Sean Hayes. She is a Tony winner, and is also nominated this year for the well-liked revival of On the Twentieth Century. Alan Cumming is also a Tony winner with a long history in theater. I like both of these guys a lot, but I am a bit worried about the tone, and about their playing off one another. Chenoweth is perky and fun, and Cumming is sly and weird. It could be a great combination, or it could be just a bit off. Either way I am excited for the Tonys, as always, they are a fun show that really celebrates theater while entertaining the viewers at home (and yet the Oscars, Grammys, and Emmys, continue to screw up a ceremony when they have a perfect example for their use every June). The Tonys are June 7th on CBS.
