Pink to Host 2026 Tony Awards In June at Radio City Music Hall
Grammy-winning global superstar tapped to host Broadway’s biggest night June 7, signaling a bold, mainstream shift for the 79th Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall.
A Pop Powerhouse Takes Broadway’s Biggest Stage
In a headline-making move, global pop icon Pink will host the 79th annual Tony Awards on June 7, 2026, marking her first time emceeing the ceremony—and a rare choice with no formal Broadway credits.
The show returns to Radio City Music Hall, with nominations set to be announced May 5.
An Unconventional Pick—By Design
Pink’s selection signals a strategic shift for the Tonys, leaning into broader cultural reach and mainstream appeal. While she hasn’t appeared on Broadway, her music already has a footprint in theater, featured in hit productions like Moulin Rouge! The Musical and & Juliet.
In a fun social media video announcement of her Tony awards gig, Pink is seen in the wings on Broadway as a show is in progress, sneaking closer to the stage until she can stretch her leg and put her foot on the stage before the voice of a stagehand calls her away.
“Broadway has shaped my life and how I put my own shows together,” Pink said. “It is a community that is supportive and inclusive, and full of talent and love.”
Pink: “I’m Really Excited—and Very Nervous”
The singer brought her signature humor to the announcement, joking that she questioned whether she even qualified.
“My first thought was—don’t you need to have been on Broadway for this?” she said, adding that her daughter ultimately sealed the deal. “She was really excited about being able to have a ticket… so I’m hosting—and I’m really, really excited and very nervous because that girl is a tough crowd!”
Broadway Leaders Bet on Star Power
Industry leaders see Pink as a bridge to new audiences.
Leaders from The American Theatre Wing and The Broadway League praised her ability to connect across generations, citing her “passionate and enduring fan community” as key to expanding Broadway’s global reach.
Executive producers echoed the sentiment, calling Pink a “fearless artist” whose live-performance energy aligns naturally with the spirit of theater.
A Global Stage, Live Coast-to-Coast
The 79th Tony Awards will air live on CBS and stream on Paramount+ for premium subscribers, continuing the ceremony’s push toward accessibility and digital audiences.
With more than 60 million records sold worldwide, 15 Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 hits, and a reputation for electrifying live performances, Pink brings undeniable star power to a night built on spectacle.
The Bottom Line
Broadway’s biggest night is getting a bold, high-voltage host—and all eyes will be on how Pink reshapes the Tonys for a wider, more modern audience.
