For the First Time Ever, Tony the Tiger® is Going to The Tony Awards®

BATTLE CREEK, Mich., June 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Tony the Tiger® is suiting up and heading to Broadway! For the first time in history, Tony will be attending the 76th Annual Tony Awards® and afterparty, bringing new meaning to the brand's 70-year-old tagline, "They're GRRREAT."
To kick off the festivities, Tony is giving the brand's iconic tagline a playful twist. "There. Grrreat." is all about shining a light on the delicious taste of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes®, while celebrating Broadway's biggest night. Specifically, the beloved mascot will focus on the Tony Awards' famous and star-studded afterparty, where he'll surprise nominees with a golden cereal bowl and the delicious taste of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes to give everyone a Tony moment and make their experience GRRREAT!
"People tell us over and over that what they love about Kellogg's Frosted Flakes® is that they just taste GRRREAT! So, we decided to have some fun with our iconic tagline, "They're GRRREAT," by giving it hyperbolic meaning – Kellogg's Frosted Flakes® is SO tasty, that it can turn around any situation. "There. Grrreat.,"" said Laura Newman, senior director of brand marketing at Kellogg Company. "Tony is thrilled to celebrate all the amazing talent and present them with a new 'Tony' moment after the curtain falls."
As Broadway stars make their way to the event's afterparty, Tony will personally present a one-of-a-kind, gold-filled cereal bowl engraved with Kellogg's Frosted Flakes®' playful iteration of its tagline, "There. GRRREAT." He'll also encourage guests to enjoy the Kellogg's Frosted Flakes® event space, which will offer tasty options for hungry guests such as adult cereal milkshakes, delicious "breakfast" inspired treats and of course, bowls of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes®.
