These people give magic every single day, and I cannot wait to celebrate them with the entire world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen I was asked to host the Tonys, I immediately thought, \u2018I have to get permission from my daughter.\u2019 I\u2019ve never been on Broadway, and shouldn\u2019t you have to have been on Broadway in order to host? That seems fair and right,&#8221; Pink continued. &#8220;But when I asked my daughter, she was really excited about being able to have a ticket to go to the Tonys, so I\u2019m hosting the Tonys and I\u2019m really, really excited and very nervous because that girl is a tough crowd!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pink hasn&#8217;t won a Tony herself, though she does have three Grammys to her name. Two were for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals (one for &#8220;Lady Marmalade&#8221; with Christina Aguilera, Lil&#8217; Kim and M\u00fda in 2002, the other for Imagine&#8221; with Herbie Hancock, India.Arie, Seal, Konono N\u00ba1, Jeff Beck and Oumou Sangar\u00e9 in 2011), while the other was for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance (for &#8220;Trouble&#8221; in 2004).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPink is an extraordinary artist, and her fearless creativity makes her an inspired choice to host this year\u2019s Tony Awards on CBS,\u201d said Mackenzie Mitchell, senior vice president of specials at CBS. \u201cHer dynamic presence and deep respect for live performance will undoubtedly shape a powerful and memorable broadcast that celebrates the remarkable achievements of this Broadway season.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pink follows in the hosting footsteps of Cynthia Erivo, who hosted last year&#8217;s ceremony, and Ariana DeBose, who hosted the three before that. In 2021, Audra McDonald hosted the proper ceremony, while Leslie Odom Jr. hosted a special &#8220;Broadway&#8217;s Back!&#8221; post-Covid concert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEach year, the Tony Awards creates new theater fans around the world, expanding Broadway\u2019s reach and shaping its future,\u201d said Heather Hitchens, president and CEO of the American Theatre Wing, and Jason Laks, president of The Broadway League. \u201cOver the course of her extraordinary career, Pink 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.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-the-wrap-read-more\">\n\t<div class=\"the-wrap-read-more__container\">\n\t\t<a
