Broadway's biggest names gathered in New York City on Sunday night to celebrate the 79th Annual Tony Awards.

Pink, 46, played host, arriving in a shimmering, low-cut, Jean-Louis Sabaji black gown.

The longtime performer kicked off the number with aerial acrobatics in a Peter Pan costume. The production featured a handful of surprise cameos including one from Megan Thee Stallion, who is fresh off her turn as Harold Zidler in Moulin Rouge.

Later in the night Pink performed with the cast of Chicago.

John Lithgow won his third Tony Award, this time for his performance as Roald Dahl in Giant.

Shoshana Bean won Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Musical for her turn in The Lost Boys.

Laurie Metcalf took home the win for Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Play for her part in Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman.

And Ali Louis Bourzgui won Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Musical for his role in The Lost Boys.
