P!NK gets a brand-new hosting gig!
New York, New York - Raise your glass! Legendary popstar P!NK is hosting this year's Tony Awards, awarding the best of Broadway.
The Great White Way is going P!NK!
The 79th Annual Tony Awards will officially be taking the Radio City Music Hall stage on Sunday, June 7, with a new face to helm Broadway theater's biggest night.
She annouced the gig on Thursday with a cheeky Instagram post.
"When I was asked to host @thetonyawards, my first question was – 'Don’t you need to have been on Broadway for this?' So I went ahead and fixed that. Kind of."
The clip shows the star in a flapper costume sneaking a toe onto the Broadway stage at Wednesday night's performance of the musical The Great Gatsby.
"The Broadway community is the hardest working in showbiz," P!NK wrote. "They show up every single night, sometimes twice, and make absolute magic. I cannot wait to celebrate them all with you."
The three-time Grammy Award winner has released nine studio albums with 15 Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, and sold more than 60 million album equivalents wordwide. She's become known for adding theatrical elements like high flying acrobatics to her stadium tours, and is rumored to become the first female solo artist to headline The Sphere in Las Vegas next year.
"Over the course of her extraordinary career, P!NK has built one of the most passionate and enduring fan communities in the history of popular music, giving her a unique ability to bring even more people into this growing family," Heather Hitchens, President & CEO of the American Theatre Wing, and Jason Laks, President of the Broadway League, wrote in a statement.
"Simply put: we could not be more excited to get this party started.”
Will P!NK's daughter Willow Hart perform at the 2026 Tony Awards?
Just like her mom, P!NK's 14-year-old daughter Willow Sage Hart is an up-and-coming performer and lover of musical theater. The two have even sung musical theater together on the Radio City Musical Hall stage before during an appearance at Hugh Jackman's residency in September, doing a trio rendition of "A Million Dreams" from The Greatest Showman.
Most recently, the mother-daughter duo took on musical theater again with a duet from Broadway's The Outsiders on The Kelly Clarkson Show last month.
"When I was asked to host the Tonys, I immediately thought, 'I have to get permission from my daughter,'" P!NK joked.
"She was really excited about being able to have a ticket to go to the Tonys, so I’m hosting the Tonys and I’m really, really, excited and very nervous because that girl is a tough crowd!"
The two released a single together in 2021, Cover Me In Sunshine.
