The producers of the Tony Awards have set June 11 for the show that celebrates the best of Broadway and are setting it in a new location -- more than a hundred blocks north of New York City's theater district.

The telecast will be broadcast live from the lush and elegant United Palace, a 3,400-seat venue in uptown Washington Heights that is Manhattan's fourth-largest theatre. It opened in 1930 and hosts concerts, movie premieres and events.

"We are excited to bring the Tony Awards to the historic United Palace for the first time," said Heather Hitchens, president and CEO of the American Theatre Wing, and Charlotte St. Martin, president of The Broadway League. "We look forward to ushering in a new golden age for the show from this majestic, golden age theatre."

The awards eligibility cut-off date is April 27 and nominations for the 2023 Tony Awards will be announced May 2. The telecast will be shown on CBS and stream live on Paramount+.

For many years, the awards show has aired from the 6,000-seat Radio City Music Hall, or if not available, from the 2,900-seat Beacon Theatre on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
