Hot damn! They couldn't have picked a better host. Neil Patrick Harris will host the 63rd Annual Tony Awards, which will be held June 7 at Radio City Music Hall. CBS will broadcast the three-hour event live beginning at 8 PM ET.
In a statement Harris said, "The discipline of live theatre - doing the same perfect thing night after night, eight times a week - never ceases to amaze me. I'm truly honored to have been chosen as the Master of Ceremonies for this year's Tony Awards, and I hope to help provide a first-class evening for all."
The 2009 Tony Awards will be executive produced by Ricky Kirshner and Glenn Weiss of White Cherry Entertainment.
Weiss stated, "We are thrilled to be working with Neil on the most important theatre night of the year." Kirshner added, "His love for Broadway and great knowledge of theatre combined with his on-stage presence makes him the perfect person to guide us through what is sure to be a great night."
I'm actually excited about watching this award show now.
