Josh Groban and Sara Bareilles, two pop singers who recently made their Broadway debuts, will host this year’s Tony Awards.

The two performers each grew up as theater kids, but pursued successful careers in music before finding their way back to the stage.

Mr. Groban, 37, made his Broadway debut last season in “Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812,” while Ms. Bareilles, 38, made her debut in “Waitress,” a musical for which she wrote the songs. Mr. Groban was nominated for a Tony Award last year for his “Great Comet” performance, while Ms. Bareilles was nominated the previous year for the “Waitress” score.
