Ready for some f**kin’ perfect news? BroadwayWorld has just learned that music superstar and global icon P!NK will host the 79th Annual Tony Awards. The lifelong theater fan will bring her unparalleled performance skills to Radio City Music Hall when The American Theatre Wing’s Tony Awards return on Sunday, June 7, 2026. The 79th Annual Tony Awards will broadcast LIVE to both coasts on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+* (8:00 – 11:00 PM ET/5:00 – 8:00 PM PT).
“It is the honor of an entire lifetime to host a night celebrating the literal hardest working people in showbiz,” said P!NK. “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.”
She continued, “When I was asked to host the Tonys, I immediately thought, ‘I have to get permission from my daughter.’ 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 and very nervous because that girl is a tough crowd!”
P!NK explained during a recent episode of The Kelly Clarkson show why she made the move to New York City. “We actually moved here because I am an amazing mom and also so Willow could study theatre and experience more Broadway.”
“Each year, the Tony Awards creates new theater fans around the world, expanding Broadway’s reach and shaping its future,” said Heather Hitchens, President & CEO of the American Theatre Wing, and Jason Laks, President of the Broadway League. “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. Simply put: we could not be more excited to get this party started.”
The 2025 Tony Awards were hosted by Cynthia Erivo. Learn more about past Tony Awards hosts.
