Harvey Fierstein, author and star of La Cage aux Folles, will host the 2011 Drama Desk Awards, which will be presented on Monday, May 23, at a sit-down dinner at the Hammerstein Ballroom. The ceremony’s venue and day of the week are a departure from past years for the awards, which honor Broadway, off-Broadway and off-off-Broadway productions.
The Drama Desk Awards are voted on by critics and journalists covering the New York theater scene. This year's ceremony will be filmed in HD for a television special that will be given two primetime airings plus four additional national broadcasts on the Ovation network between June 2 and June 15, 2011. Celebrity presenters and production numbers from nominated musicals will be featured.
