Pink brought the "Lady Marmalade," and then some to the 79th Tony Awards.
The multi-hyphenate entertainer, 46, hosted the annual biggest night for Broadway at New York City's famed Radio City Music Hall on Sunday, June 7.

She then launched into a star-studded rendition of the Moulin Rouge! hit, rejigged as "Leading Lady Marmalade," with cameos from the likes of Megan Thee Stallion, Lea Michele, and Dylan Mulvaney, plus many of the night's biggest nominees.
After a rousing introduction that summarily brought the house down, Pink kicked off her opening monologue, immediately calling out the notion of having herself as the event's host, despite never having been on a Broadway stage.
"Tonight, I am here as Broadway's biggest fan," she said, before correcting herself with: "Well, second biggest next to my daughter, Willow." 15-year-old Willow Sage Hart attended the show, as did Carey Hart and youngest Jameson Moon Hart.
She later also joked about the real reason Willow wanted her to host the show – to get a few selfies with Broadway stars. "I don't know where she is, but I did not take this job so my kid could get Broadway selfies, although…," she said before proceeding to flash one selfie Willow did manage.

It was announced in April that the "Just Give Me a Reason" singer will host the annual ceremony, inspired especially by her daughter. The entire family moved to New York City earlier this year so Willow could pursue an education in musical theater.
"It is the honor of an entire lifetime to host a night celebrating the literal hardest working people in showbiz," Pink said in her host announcement. "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."

"But when I asked my daughter, she was really excited about being able to have a ticket to go to the Tony's, so I'm hosting the Tonys and I'm really, really, excited and very nervous because that girl is a tough crowd!"

The Lost Boys, Schmigadoon!, and Ragtime each took home four prizes (including Best Musical for Schmigadoon! and Revival of a Musical for Ragtime), while Liberation won Best Play.
