This has been a banner year for the performer. She won an Oscar for her work in the Stephen Speilberg adaptation of West Side Story; She hosted the iconic sketch series Saturday Night Live; She has quickly become a household name for her unbelievable talent.

DeBose is thrilled to be hosting the awards ceremony. In an official statement, she exclaimed:

"I'm coming home! I'm so honored to celebrate 75 years of excellence in theatre, but more importantly every member of this community who poured themselves into making sure the lights of Broadway have the opportunity to shine brightly once again!...This is a dream come true, and I'm excited to see you all on June 12th."

While the star has impressively cemented herself within the Hollywood fold within the last year, her illustrious Broadway resume speaks for itself. She has given unforgettable performances in shows such as Bring It On: The Musical, Motown The Musical, Pippin, Hamilton, A Bronx Tale The Musical, and Summer: The Donna Summer Musical.
