MANHATTAN — The Tony Awards have found a new home on the Upper West Side, according to reports.

Event organizers announced Wednesday that the 65th annual Tonys will be held at the 2,800-seat Beacon Theater on Broadway near 74th Street, according to the Associated Press.

The new space is about half the size of Radio City Music Hall where the Tonys had been hosted before getting ousted due to a scheduling conflict with Cirque du Soleil, which has the space booked at the same time as this year's awards.

The Tonys will be broadcast live by CBS on June 12.
