Pink is a huge name and has been showing interest in Broadway. Maybe you’re the one who needs to grow up and see how it goes, and then realize you have I idea what goes into making an event like this happen."

You not knowing who Bob the Drag Queen is makes you completely unworthy of a discourse around who would draw contemporary eyeballs. Bob was just on Broadway and on Traitors last season. Many more people have seen Bob as of late than Pink. Please hush."

Oh please. Bob the Drag Queen is practically irrelevant and he stunk up the stage BIG TIME in Moulin Rouge. He could barely project or remember his lines. Awful."

But Pink was so good in her Broadway show, right?! oh wait… she’s never done one! She’s a Broadway fan just like you. Moulin Rogue stinks up its own stage, don’t blame that on him.


The ratings will have the final say. I strongly predict they won’t be higherthan Cynthia’s. We will see."

Keep humiliating yourself on social media with your utter ignorance.

Pink is one devoted mama moving to NYC so her daughter can be closer to bway and pursue her dreams. And good for Pink for making an effort to jump into the bway community and bring more attention to the Tony's (which she certainly will). A couple of her songs are already in bway shows, and her tours are super theatrical. I think it is a fun choice and hopefully will bring new eyeballs to the broadcast

Years ago on an episode of Watch What Happens Live, I remember her talking about her love for Bette Midler and how excited she was to see her in Hello, Dolly! So she's been at least a casual Broadway fan for some time."

And if anybody can bring in a major audience to the TONY Awards, it’s an artist who’s very much influenced by the Broadway community and that’s exactly who P!nk is

You’d have to be of importance for me to care what you think of me. This is a chat board. We’re all embarrassing, babe.

It is worth noting that the last time we had a host who never performed on Broadway before was Hugh Jackman when he first did it back in 2003. He's even mentioned in subsequent interviews how surprised he was to even be offered the job at that point. Although granted, he did notably start out in musical theatre in Australia before becoming a celebrity as Wolverine.

What’s Pink’s skill set and history in hosting? Besides the Kelly Clarkson show?"

Literally who gives a ****? She's a fun personality.

THE BOY FROM OZ started previews 3 months after he first hosted so he was in full rehearsing mode at that time AND the buzz for the highly anticipated musical was enormous. It’s quite obvious many in the Tony Awards committee were aware of what he was doing in the rehearsal studios and agreed it would be smart having him host the awards before his highly anticipated Broadway show started performances. By the time THE BOY FROM OZ started previews in September 2003 it already had a record-breaking $6M in advance ticket sales ($10M by the time the show opened in October 2003). The Tony Awards committee knew what they were doing.

I was referring to the "hosting skill" comment. There are tons of "fun personalities" who are irrelevant. It's hilarious to see you people have a melt down over an opposing opinion. I'm allowed to disagree and you're welcome to get over it."

You can totally disagree and still be wrong. This is a giant “get” for the theater community. Just wild to be on the negative side of it.

Sure. I can understand your point, but I also don't think I get it? Like why be negative? This is a big deal for the Tony Awards and Broadway. So why cast a negative light on it? She's amazing. She's talented. She clearly cares for the community... I'm not seeing why you should have a negative opinion about it?

Also she's still selling out the same places those artists are playing so..

Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Gaga orBeyoncé would be a major get. I'm not talking about talent, folk.I'm talking about relevancy. Just because we don't agree doesn't mean I'm being negative. We don't all have to think alike."

Pink is just as relevant, if not more, than the artists you just named. And let’s not forget, you’re the one who suggested Bob the Drag Queen as host. Is there something wrong with you?

With all due respect, I still don’t know who Bob the Drag Queen is or what they do. I don’t watch nor follow RuPaul’s Drag Race so based on his name I’m assuming they were part of that at some time and may be trying to inject themselves onto the Broadway bubble of sorts. I’m familiar with and admire Jinkx Monsoon, Peppermint, and Bianca Del Rio so yes, I’m aware of their RuPaul’s Drag Race connection so I’d say they definitely crossed over successfully if I’m familiar with them and their work. Suggesting Bob the Drag Queen to host the Tony Awards would be like suggesting Jessica, the manager at Starbuck’s on Judson Street in Cleveland. They obviously have a niche audience and have yet to cross over and enter the consciousness of the mainstream audiences like the 3 other artists I mentioned.
