NEW YORK — Pop singer Pink will host the 79th annual Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall on June 7.

Though the 46-year-old Grammy Award winner has never performed on Broadway, she’s excited to host live theater’s biggest award show.

“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 confirming her participation. “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, real name Alecia Beth Moore-Hart, said she wasn’t sure if she could accept that responsibility without having performed in a Broadway show. Her 14-year-old daughter, Willow Sage Hart, urged her to book the gig anyway.

“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!” she said.

Tickets for the show go on sale to the general public on Wednesday. CBS and Paramount+ will air the ceremony live.

 

The 2026 Tony Award executive producers called Pink a “fearless artist” who embodies “the very spirit of live performance and theatre.”

Nominees for this year’s awards will be announced on May 5.

Last year’s winners included best musical “Maybe Happy Endings” and best play “Purpose.”

Pink said on New Year’s Eve that she was looking forward to putting 2025 behind her after undergoing neck surgery.

“I know that 2026 is going to be better because that is the choice that I have made,” she wrote on Instagram.
