Pink set the stage ablaze in a saucy burlesque outfit as she fronted a star-studded opening number for this year's .

The 46-year-old pop act is hosting the ceremony at Radio City Music Hall for the first time this year, despite never having acted on Broadway before.

Pop songs of hers have been included in the past jukebox musicals & Juliet and Moulin Rouge! - and she reprised one of them as she kicked off Sunday night's show.

She delivered a sizzling rendition of Lady Marmalade, the song she first performed with Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim and Mya in the film of Moulin Rouge! 25 years ago.

Belting out retooled lyrics that paid tribute to some of the evening's nominees, Pink stalked the stage in a racy set of fishnets and a clinging pink corset.

A glittering array of celebrities joined in the act, from Neil Patrick Harris and to and 96-year-old nominee June Squibb.

Harris, 52, was the comic foil to Pink during her entrance, an aerial routine in which she paid homage to Wicked by singing a bit of its power ballad Defying Gravity.

Wearing a green bodysuit in a nod to the show, a harnessed Pink twirled about in mid-air and brought a squirming Harris up there with her, riding him like a horse.
