Pink has been tapped the host the Tonys for the first time, a job she described as ‘the honor of an entire lifetime’ in a statement to People.
Hailing the Great White Way for having ‘the literal hardest working people in showbiz,’ she raved: ‘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.’
Although she has never performed on Broadway before, her pop songs have in the past been included in the jukebox musicals Moulin Rouge! and & Juliet.
This year, Schmigadoon! and The Lost Boys soared ahead of their competitors to emerge as the most nominated shows of the night with 12 nods apiece.
The Lost Boys – based on Joel Schumacher’s 1987 vampire movie of the same name starring Corey Haim, Corey Feldman, Jami Gertz, Jason Patric and Kiefer Sutherland – is one of the four productions nominated for best musical.
So is Schmigadoon!, based on an Apple TV+ sitcom about a floundering couple who find themselves transported into the world of a classic Broadway musical.
Rounding out the category are Titanique, a Celine Dion jukebox musical doubling as a Titanic parody, and the UK import Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York).
The best play nominees include Mark Rosenblatt’s buzzy Giant, starring John Lithgow as Roald Dahl in a story about the antisemitism allegations that swirled around the author after his blistering denunciation of the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon.
Among its competitors is The Balusters, a comedy by David Lindsay-Abaire, whose tragic drama Rabbit Hole was made into a 2010 film with Nicole Kidman.

Bess Wohl’s play Liberation, set in the second-wave feminist movement, and Samuel D. Hunter’s family drama Little Bear Ridge Road are up for best play as well.
Best revival of a musical stands as a three-way contest between Cats – now subtitled The Jellicle Ball – Ragtime and Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show.
Best revival of a play is a fuller field, with five nominees including classics like Noel Coward’s Fallen Angels and Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman, as well as Oedipus, impresario Robert Icke’s revamp of Sophocles’ Oedipus Tyrannos.
Also up for the prize is the revival of Duncan Macmillan and Jonny Donahoe’s one-man show Every Brilliant Thing, now starring Daniel Radcliffe, and Gina Gionfriddo’s Becky Shaw, which traces the course of a disastrous blind date.
Best leading actor in a play is a starry category, with Radcliffe for Every Brilliant Thing facing off against Nathan Lane as Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman, John Lithgow as Roald Dahl in Giant, Mark Strong as the title character in Oedipus and Will Harrison as someone who kills a man with a single blow in the British play Punch.
Best leading actress in a play is similarly speckled with Hollywood glitz, in the shape of nominees like Rose Byrne in Fallen Angels, Carrie Coon in a revival of Tracy Letts’ paranoia-themed play Bug and Lesley Manville as Jocasta in Oedipus.
Stage actresses Susannah Flood and Kelli O’Hara complete the category for their respective performances in Liberation and Fallen Angels.
The nominees for best featured actor in a play include Girls alum Christopher Abbott – whose girlfriend Aubrey Plaza is currently expecting a baby with him – for his turn as the title character’s son Biff in Death of a Salesman.
Up against him are Solo star Alden Ehrenreich for Becky Shaw, Danny Burstein for the sci-fi play Marjorie Prime, Richard Thomas in The Balusters, Brandon J. Dirden in a revival of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot and Ruben Santiago-Hudson in a revival of August Wilson’s Joe Turner’s Come and Gone.
Laurie Metcalf is nominated for best featured actress in a play as Linda in Death of a Salesman, against June Squibb in Marjorie Prime, Aya Cash for Giant, Marylouise Burke for The Balusters and Betsy Aidem for Liberation.

The Hobbit heartthrob Luke Evans landed a nod for best leading actor in a musical for Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show, in which he plays Dr Frank-N-Furter, the ‘sweet transvestite’ immortalized on film by Tim Curry.
In order to triumph Sunday night, he will have to beat out Joshua Henry and Brandon Uranowitz for Ragtime, Sam Tutty in Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) and Nicholas Christopher in a revival of the 1980s musical Chess, written by Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ex-lyricist Tim Rice with ABBA’s Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus.
Stephanie Hsu, who was nominated for an Oscar for Everything Everywhere All at Once, is now up for the best leading actress in a musical Tony for The Rocky Horror Show, in which she plays Janet, the role Susan Sarandon committed to celluloid.
She finds herself pitted against Schmigadoon!’s Sara Chase – reprising her role from the Apple TV+ series – as well as Caissie Levy for Ragtime, Christiani Pitts for Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) and Marla Mindelle for her star turn as Celine Dion in Titanique, which she also helped write.
Best featured actress in a musical is a category that this year includes two Saturday Night Live alumnae – Rachel Dratch as the narrator in The Rocky Horror Show and Ana Gasteyer for Schmigadoon!.
Their rivals are Shoshanna Bean in The Lost Boys as Lucy – the Dianne Wiest role in the film – as well as Nichelle Lewis for Ragtime and Hannah Cruz for Chess.
Meanwhile the nominees for best featured actor in a musical are Ali Louis Bourzgui playing the Kiefer Sutherland role of David in The Lost Boys, Andre de Shields as Old Deuteronomy in Cats and Layton Williams as the iceberg in Titanique, as well as Ben Levi Ross for Ragtime and Bryce Pinkham for Chess.
The musicals up for the prize are Schmigadoon!, with songs by Cinco Paul; The Lost Boys, with songs by the indie rock band The Rescues; and Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York), with music by Jim Barne and lyrics by Kit Buchan.
