"After the challenging last two years, there is no one better to bring the theater community together on this important night honoring the best of Broadway and share the joys of live performing once again than this extraordinarily talented artist."

"I'm coming home! I'm so honored to celebrate 75 years of excellence in theater, 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 12," said Ariana DeBose.

"The 75th Tony Awards celebration is a big moment for all of us in the theater community, and in Ariana we have found the perfect host to lead this celebration," said Heather Hitchens, president and CEO of the American Theatre Wing, and Charlotte St. Martin, president of The Broadway League. "We can't wait to see Ariana take the stage on June 12 and dazzle, inspire and entertain us."

"There's a reason Ariana has been nominated and won so many awards ... and you'll see why on June 12 when she is back 'home' on a Broadway stage," said Ricky Kirshner and Glenn Weiss, executive producers for White Cherry Entertainment.

Ariana DeBose received critical acclaim for her ground-breaking performance in Steven Spielberg's "West Side Story," for which she received Oscar, BAFTA, Critics Choice and SAG Awards for her performance as Anita.
