The artist will follow in the footsteps of Ariana DeBose, Cynthia Erivo and Kevin Spacey this June
The Tony awards have turned to a singer with a reputation for a high-energy, physical live show to be the next telecast host – Pink.
The three-time Grammy award winner will make her debut as emcee for the awards on 7 June at its familiar home of Radio City Music Hall.
“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.”
While Pink hasn’t yet made an appearance on Broadway, she has had 15 top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including four No 1 songs and is known for her acrobatic, ceiling-swinging live sets.
