Overview
- P!nk is confirmed to emcee the live Tony Awards broadcast from Radio City Music Hall on Sunday, June 7, with the ceremony airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
- She and producers have teased a roughly seven‑and‑a‑half‑minute opening that P!nk says will include about 170 people onstage, multiple costume changes, acrobatics and stunt elements.
- P!nk credited songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul with writing the opener and said writer‑performer Amber Ruffin is helping with her script, while rehearsals and staging continued in New York this week.
- The host received permission from her daughter Willow before accepting the gig, and P!nk is confirmed to appear in the Chicago 30th‑anniversary segment as part of the night’s performances.
- Producers expect P!nk’s mainstream profile and concert theatrics to draw more viewers to the Tonys and highlight the growing crossover between pop stars and Broadway, a trend backed by her songs appearing in two current Broadway shows.
