6 Tips To Make Your Tony Party A Show Stopper

Sofia Corrado

Since 1947, The Tony Awards have been presented to celebrate excellence in theatre. And has a Broadway nerd since 1997, it is one of my favorite events of the year. You can have your Oscars, Grammys, and Golden Globes… the Tony’s are my night to pig out with all of my friends and celebrate theatre and get a taste of the best that the Broadway season has to offer.

Hosting a Tony Awards viewing party is a great way to celebrate with friends at home and have a good time without paying upwards of $1,000 for a ticket to the actual show!

So here are some tips and tricks for hosting a great Tony Party!

1. Make a Pinterest Board

Pin anything from decor ideas to cupcake recipes, champagne jello shots, and Tony awards bingo; Pinterest is a great place to organize all of your ideas in one place!

2. Invite all your biggest Broadway Nerd Friends

Send out a mass text, e-vite, or create a facebook event… but gather all of your broadway music loving thespians together in one place. Why live tweet when you can gab with your friends over a boozy drink?

3. Pump up your guests before the show

I’m talking about watching all the Neil Patrick Harris performances and that time that Cynthia Erivo stopped the show with her performance of “I’m Here” and creating a Spotify playlist of all of your favorite Broadway sing-a-longs to set the mood before the awards show.

4. Print out those Tony Ballots!

Create a contest with your guests during the show by seeing who can guess the most winners or play a couple rounds of Tony Bingo. You can even make gift bags or tiny awards to give out as a prize at the end of the night for all of your winners.

5. Serve Broadway-themed food

There is nothing more fun than a cleverly themed party! A fun way to keep the theme is to theme your food and drinks around some of your favorite Broadway shows or musicals, or theatre in general! Make “Krabby Patties” for SpongeBob the Musical, a clambake for Carousel, or Kalteen Bars for the Regina George of your friend group.

6. Don’t forget to tune in on June 10 at 8 pm ET!

Tune into CBS Sunday, June 10th at 8 pm to see Sara Bareilles and Josh Groban host the 72nd annual Tony Awards!

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
