Anna Wintour and Bee Carrozzini Host Pre-Tony Dinner for Broadway Stars
Anna Wintour and Bee Carrozzini hosted their annual pre-Tony dinner party at Wintour's Manhattan townhouse on Sunday, gathering about 50 members of New York's theater community for cocktails and a seated dinner. The event served as a casual meet-and-greet before the Tony Awards, akin to a pre-tournament friendly. Guests included directors Kenny Leon, Lear DeBessonet, and Whitney White; actors Joshua Henry, Nichelle Lewis, Brandon Uranowitz, Caissie Levy, Ben Levi Ross, Kara Young, Ayo Edebiri, Aaron Tveit, Lea Michele, Nicholas Christopher, Christopher Abbott, Alden Ehrenreich, Carrie Coon, John Lithgow, Adrien Brody, Tessa Thompson, and Kelli O'Hara; and composers Andrew Lloyd Webber, who performed as DJ Webz. Highlights included discussions of upcoming productions like Whitney White's 'The Whoopi Monologues' at Lincoln Center Theater's Newhouse Theater, and Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'Evita' transfer starring Rachel Zegler to Broadway's Winter Garden Theatre in 2027. The evening also featured a cake by pastry chef Daniel Colonel.
