Date Set for Announcement of the 2011 Tony Nominations

Nominations for the 65th Annual Tony Awards will be announced on May 3 at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center. The Antoinette Perry "Tony" Awards, which are presented by the Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing, will be broadcast live from the Beacon Theatre on CBS on June 12 from 8pm to 11pm. 

The deadline for Tony eligibility is April 28. This year's ceremony will mark the first time in 13 years the event does not take place at Radio City Music Hall. The Tony Awards were forced to find a new home this year when Cirque du Soleil's Zarkana booked Radio City for an extended engagement.

No host has been revealed for the nomination announcements or awards telecast yet.
