Actor Neil Patrick Harris will host the Tony Awards in June for the second time, organizers of the ceremony that honors the best shows on Broadway said on Tuesday.

This year ceremony honoring the best on Broadway will be hold at the Beacon Theater in Manhattan's Upper West Side after several years at Radio City Music Hall. The awards will be handed out June 12 in a telecast aired on CBS.

"I'm honored and stoked to have been asked to host the 2011 Tony Awards," said Harris in a statement. "It should be a great show – we've got a fantastic mix of live performances, a few secret surprises and since they're closed for retooling, we're using all the rigging equipment from 'Spider-Man'. What could possibly go wrong?"

Harris, 37, has starred in three Broadway productions, including "Assassins," ''Proof," opposite Anne Heche, and as the exuberant master of ceremonies in "Cabaret."

He recently joined Stephen Colbert, Christina Hendricks and Patti LuPone in the New York Philharmonic's production of "Company."

Harris hosted the 2009 Emmy Awards the same year he hosted the Tonys. The last time Harris hosted the Tonys, the audience was up 19 percent from the previous year.
