The 2014 TONY awards are tonight and aside from lots of singing, dancing, and loads of theatrics, here's what you can expect from this year's award ceremony that celebrates excellence in theatre.

"A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder" reigns on top at this year's Tony awards with 10 nominations, CBS reported.

So expect to see quite a few wins from the "A Gentleman's Guide" cast along with big wins from "Hedwig and the Angry Inch," starring Neil Patrick Harris, and "After Midnight," "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical," "The Glass Menagerie" and "Twelfth Night," which are all up for seven nominations each and may win big tonight.

So what does four-time Tony awards host Hugh Jackman have planned for the big night? Well, according to CBS News, Jackman will try something during the show's opening that he isn't sure he will be able to pull off.

So expect the unexpected.

"I see myself as someone who is prepared to have a go," Jackman told CBS News. "If I think about Sunday night, I'm going to try something in the opening that honestly I don't know if I can pull it off. And I kind of love that feeling. I love the feeling of just, 'It's a little nerve-racking, but let's go for it."

Jackman proved his "prepared to go" attitude during his first year as a Tony award host when he had to improvise and keep the crowd entertained.

"That first year of hosting, the director said to me after the top of the show that we're going to a commercial and we'd be back in six-and-a-half minutes. I said, 'What? The audience will be dead cold by then.' I said, 'Give me a mike.' So I went out there and started to entertain. I asked for requests, and someone said, 'Sing 'Oh, What A Beautiful Mornin.''" And Sean Combs got up and sung it with me," Jackman said to The New York Times.

In addition to Jackman's opening performance, there will be big performances from by the cast of "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" and the cast of "Violet."

Alan Cumming will also reportedly be reprising his Tony Award-winning role in a performance from the revival of "Cabaret," and Idina Menzel will sing a song from her show "If/Then."

Other cast performances will include "Aladdin," "Les Miserables," "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical," "A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder," "Bullets Over Broadway" and "Rocky."

Tonight's Tony awards will be a particularly memorable one for the cast of "Wicked," as they celebrate the show's 10th anniversary with a performance tonight.

Sting will preview a number from his upcoming musical, "The Last Ship," and Patti LaBelle and Gladys Knight will join Fantasia for a performance with the cast of "After Midnight," according to CBS.

The Tony awards will be airing live on CBS tonight at 8/7c. Will you be watching?
