During her opening, Pink was interrupted by former Tony's host Neil Patrick Harris, explaining that she wanted to show her love for theatre despite never having been on Broadway herself. To prove her theatrical credentials, Pink performed excerpts from Phantom of the Opera, Les Misérables and Wicked, even lifting Harris with her legs while singing “Defying Gravity”. Pink's main number, “Leading Lady Marmalade”, was a star-studded performance featuring Lea Michele, Dylan Mulvaney, Shaina Taub, Megan Thee Stallion, and Broadway favourites, drawing a standing ovation. Her hosting stint received widespread praise on social media and from critics, with many calling it “the best Tonys opening” and commending her talent and entertainment value.
