The Best, Worst and Most Oops Moments of the Tony Awards 2026

From the moment Pink kicked off the Tony Awards hanging high above the stage dressed as Peter Pan, we knew we were in for a fun night, and she made sure to deliver. After addressing right off the bat that some people might be skeptical to see a pop star hosting Broadway's biggest night, she then showed them all why she was chosen, from a high-octane opening number to countless outfit changes — and even stepping into Velma Kelly's LaDucas. (We're guessing it won't be long before you'll be able to buy tickets to see her in Chicago!)

There were plenty of highs (and not just the aerial kind!), a few surprises and a couple side eye-inducing moments throughout the evening, which featured nostalgic cast reunions, memorable live performances and a few well-placed bleeps. Read on for the good, bad and the awkward of the 2026 Tonys.

Best Inversion of Expectations: Pink

Pink started things literally inverted, with one of her famous aerial tricks to begin her opening number. But as promised, she did a silly take on her signature skill (which ended with Neil Patrick Harris clutched between her thighs), before pivoting to a riotous, fun "Leading Lady Marmalade" take penned by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (Dear Evan Hansen, The Greatest Showman) and Mark Sonnenblick (KPop Demon Hunters).

Worst Upcoming Sophie's Choice

Is it possible both Paddington and Evita will be West End-to-Broadway transplants next year, as Harris hinted in the opening number? Two legendary divas on the Great White Way at the same time?! Don't make us choose!Credit: Kevin Mazur/Getty

Worst Start (if We're Strictly Talking About Timeliness)

The opening number was such a knockout that, as PEOPLE's Dave Quinn reported from inside Radio City Music Hall, "If the show didn't keep going, Radio City would have never sat down after that opening number. A standing ovation that could have gone on forever."

Best Longevity (Tie): June Squibb and John Lithgow

At 96, June Squibb had one of the best dresses of the night and landed a perfectly timed punchline in the opening number. Meanwhile, John Lithgow took home his third Tony Award tonight — 53 years after his first. Can we get their vitamin regimen?

Best Big Goofy Grin of a Musical: 'Schmigadoon'

If you didn't listen too closely to the lyrics (did they just say "does unspeakable things to pigs"?) you'd swear you had time-traveled to Broadway's Golden Age thanks to the smooth harmonies and spectacularly in-sync choreography. It's no surprise it took home Best Musical from a crowd who loves both the loving ode to and the cheeky twist on Oklahoma!, The Music Man, CarouselCredit: Theo Wargo/Getty and more.

Oops, We Guess We'll Have to Buy Tickets Again: Two Marys, One Mic

Maya Rudolph and Cole Escola were just two of the stars to play Mary Todd Lincoln in last year's Tony-winning comedy to take the mic tonight (Tituss Burgess also hosted the pre-show). And their banter made us realize, ugh, fine, we'll go see the show for a third (fourth) (fifth) time.

Worst Moment to Watch with Your Grandma

Judging from some of the ads, the Tonys were expecting a more, shall we say, mature audience this evening. So we're guessing the folks at home either weren't quite prepared (or weren't in on the joke) when Megan Thee Stallion delivered her "two strangers carrying some cake" quip and accompanying twerk.

Most Historically Accurate

I caught the last 20 minutes of Titanic before the Tonys began, so I can tell you definitively: This musical is a documentary, and Celine Dion is the lady who "dropped it into the ocean at the end." (And though sound issues appeared to plague the performance, we can assure you that you don't want to wait "84 years" to see it live.)Credit: Theo Wargo/Getty for Tony Awards Productions

Best Stunt Casting: The 'Chicago' Intro

Credit: Jemal Countess/Getty

Sure, it was great to see Queen Latifah and Alex Newell reprising their roles as Mama Morton, and yes, Pink made a very convincing Velma Kelly in her performance of "All That Jazz" during the segment dedicated to 30 years of the Chicago revival on Broadway. But we're really fixating on how much we actually want to see Julianne Hough, Dylan Mulvaney, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Adrienne Warren, Cedric the Entertainer and Chicago alum Whitney Leavitt take the stage as the Six Merry Murderesses of the Cook County Jail.

Best Speech of the Night

Credit: Theo Wargo/Getty

In a night with a lot of memorable speeches (turns out theater people are very good at expressing themselves live), Joshua Henry was a standout. He won for his role as Coalhouse Walker in the Ragtime revival, and specifically called out original cast members Brian Stokes Mitchell and Audra McDonald for their "Black don't crack legacy of artistic brilliance, showing us that we can shine in the fullness of who we are." That plus heartfelt thanks to his wife and three sons put his speech over the top and earned this final spot.Credit: Theo Wargo/Getty

Watch Megan Thee Stallion, P!NK, Neil Patrick Harris Perform ‘Lady Marmalade’ at Tonys

Watch Megan Thee Stallion, P!NK, Neil Patrick Harris Perform ‘Lady Marmalade’ at Tonys

P!nk opened the Tony Awards last night with a star-studded performance of "Lady Marmalade," her 2001 number from Moulin Rouge. The singer, who also hosted the awards show, was joined by Megan Thee Stallion, who recently exited her run in the Broadway production of the musical early.

P!nk kicked off the annual theater awards show, held at Radio City Music Hall, alongside former Tonys host Neil Patrick Harris. The singer initially appeared on wires as Peter Pan, but Harris quickly suggested she try something else. "I'm worried some people will wonder why P!nk is hosting the Tonys," she said. "I just want to make sure everyone knows I'm thrilled to be here and I want my opener to be as 'Broadway' as possible."
