The Grammy-winning pop star has been tapped to host the 79th Annual Tony Awards on June 7 from Radio City Music Hall. The Tonys will air on CBS and stream on Paramount+. “It is the honor of an entire lifetime to host a night celebrating the literal hardest working people in showbiz,” Pink said in a statement. “Broadway has shaped my life and how I put my own shows together – it is a community that is supportive, and inclusive, and full of talent and love. These people give magic every single day, and I cannot wait to celebrate them with the entire world.” Pink has never appeared on Broadway, unlike her predecessors. But she says she recently moved to New York City so her daughter Willow could experience more theater in pursuit of a Broadway career. “When I was asked to host the Tonys, I immediately thought, ‘I have to get permission from my daughter,’” said Pink. “I’ve never been on Broadway, and shouldn’t you have to have been on Broadway in order to host? That seems fair and right. But when I asked my daughter, 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.” The American Theatre Wing and the Broadway League hope having a non-traditional host will boost the award show’s appeal beyond the theater community. “Each year, the Tony Awards creates new theater fans around the world, expanding Broadway’s reach and shaping its future,” said Heather Hitchens, president and CEO of the American Theatre Wing, and Jason Laks, president of the Broadway League. “Over the course of her extraordinary career, Pink has built one of the most passionate and enduring fan communities in the history of popular music, given her a unique ability to bring even more people into this growing family. Simply put: we could not be more excited to get this party started.”
