## Resource

The 2026 Tony Awards exploded with a jaw-dropping 170-person opening number hosted by Pink, Neil Patrick Harris, and Megan Thee Stallion. Behind the curtain, Broadway’s biggest stars lit up the blue carpet and backstage media room — from Whitney Leavitt surprising Joey Fatone and JC Chasez with a Chicago tribute to Darren Criss’s warm, sunny-day thanks to the press. It wasn’t just awards night — it was a living, breathing celebration of theater’s heartbeat. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
