1) Tony Awards, 8-11 p.m, ET, CBS. The night will be stuffed with big musical numbers. There are the nominated new musicals — “Schmigadoon” (shown here), “Titanique,” “The Lost Boys” “Two Strangers” — and revivals (“Ragtime,” “Rocky Horror,” “Cats”), plus the original “Book of Mormon” cast. And Pink, who hosts, joins a 30th-year tribute to “Chicago.”
2) “The Vampire Lestat” opener, 9 p.m., AMC, rerunning at 10:44. We’ve always assumed vampires would make good rock stars (and vice versa). Now Lestat (Sam Reid) is convincing as a rocker with bite, Still, this beautifully filmed continuation of “Interview With the Vampire” has a problem: For now, there’s no one for viewers to like or even to care about.
3) “Best in the World” opener, 9 p.m., National Geographic. Each year, the National Geographic magazine picks one city as the best. Now Antoni Porowski — with roots in Poland, Montreal and New York — begins a four-week journey. He starts with joyous views of Mexico City, ranging from a quiet cathedral to the colorful tumult of wrestling.
4) Sports. For one night, there’s no game in the pro finals; basketball returns on Monday; hockey on Tuesday. But football has the UFL semi-finals at 3 p.m.ET on ABC and 6 on Fox; the winners collide Saturday. And baseball has the Giants-Cubs (8 p.m. NBC), the college tournament on ESPN … and the “Sandlot” movie, 8-10 p.m. on CW.
5) “Earth, Wind & Fire,” 9-11 p.m., HBO, rerunning at 11:41. Bridging eras and genres, EWF has done it all. With horns blazing, it mastered R&B, soul, jazz and more. It’s sold 90 million records and won six Grammys plus ardent fans, including Miles Davis, Quincy Jones and (in this documentary by Oscar-winner Questlove) Barack Obama and Stevie Wonder.
