Tonight, the 79th Tony Awards will be held at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, honoring Broadway’s brightest stars. The Tonys are theater’s biggest night, celebrating the best plays and productions of the 2025-2026 Broadway season. This year, Pink is taking over as host, which for some was an unexpected decision, as previous Tony Awards celebrations have traditionally featured a veteran of the evening—last year, it was hosted by Tony Award winner Cynthia Erivo, and three years before that, Tony nominee Ariana DeBose hosted.
Pink, however, has connections to the theater world, as two of her songs are currently being used in Broadway productions (Moulin Rouge! Music again & Juliet).
For music The Lost Boys again Schmigadoon! they lead the way with the most nominations for the evening (12!), with musical renewal Rag time followed by 11 words, followed by the renewal of Death of a Salesman nine, who scored the most goals in the game.
