Brooke Shields and Robin Williams are the latest additions to the list of artists who will present awards at the 65th Annual Tony Awards, which will air on CBS June 12 at 8 PM ET live from the Beacon Theatre in New York City. Neil Patrick Harris hosts.

Special appearances will also be made by the previously reported Catherine Zeta-Jones, Whoopi Goldberg, Chris Rock, Alec Baldwin, Samuel L. Jackson, Kelsey Grammer, Viola Davis, Vanessa Redgrave, James Earl Jones, Harry Connick Jr., Christie Brinkley, David Hyde Pierce, Marg Helgenberger, Matthew Broderick, Angela Lansbury, Jim Parsons, Joel Grey, Patrick Wilson and Robert Morse.

In related news, Daniel Radcliffe, who is currently starring on Broadway in the revival of How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying, will join cast members from that show to perform "Brotherhood of Man" on the Tony telecast.

The 2011 Tony Awards will be executive-produced by Ricky Kirshner and Glenn Weiss of White Cherry Entertainment.

The awards, Broadway's highest honor, have been broadcast on CBS since 1978. This will be the first year that the show will be broadcast from The Beacon Theatre, which is part of the Madison Square Garden portfolio of venues. (As previously reported, Radio City Music Hall, the home of the Tony Awards for the past several years, is unavailable for this year's awards show.)

The Tony Awards are presented by the American Theatre Wing and The Broadway League.
