This three-time Grammy Award winner took to Instagram this week to make the announcement, and let’s just say, she’s ready to bring her fierce energy to the stage.
“When I was asked to host @thetonyawards, my first question was — don’t you need to have been on Broadway for this?” Pink quipped in her post. And guess what? She went ahead and fixed that little detail. Kind of. In a cheeky video shared with her announcement, we see Pink backstage at a Broadway show, playfully sneaking one leg onto the stage as a producer tries to usher her away. “Now I’ve been on Broadway. Now I can host the Tonys,” she declares, and honestly, we couldn’t agree more!
Pink’s caption was a love letter to the Broadway community: “The Broadway community is the hardest working in showbiz. They show up every single night, sometimes twice, and make absolute magic.” And she’s not wrong! These performers pour their hearts into every show, and Pink is here to celebrate that hard work on June 7, 2026, at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
“I cannot wait to celebrate them all with you on Sunday June 7th on CBS,” she added, thanking the production of “The Great Gatsby” musical for allowing her to share the stage, even if just for a moment. Talk about a dream come true!
As for the Tonys, they have a legacy of hosting some of the biggest names in entertainment. Past hosts have included the likes of Hugh Jackman, Ariana DeBose, and Neil Patrick Harris. Now, Pink joins this illustrious list, and we can’t wait to see what she brings to the table.
In a statement from the show’s producers, they expressed their thrill at having Pink on board: “We are thrilled to welcome the incomparable P!NK as the host of this year’s Tony Awards — a fearless artist whose powerhouse voice, electrifying stage presence, and undeniable authenticity embody the very spirit of live performance and theatre.” Can we get a round of applause for that?
Pink is not just a pop icon; she’s a powerhouse performer who knows how to captivate an audience. With her ninth studio album “Trustfall” released in 2023 and her recent collaboration with Dolly Parton on a cover of the Rolling Stones’ “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” she’s proven time and again that she’s here to stay.
So mark your calendars, folks! The 2026 Tony Awards are going to be a night to remember, and with Pink at the helm, you know it’s going to be fabulous. Get ready for a celebration of talent, hard work, and the magic of Broadway!
