The Tony awards were on Sunday night and you know what? It was a pretty great show. Not all of the winners were exciting—Ragtime was a beautiful revival, but Jellicle Ball was more innovative—but it was overall a fun evening. Credit for that goes in large part to one Alecia “P!nk” Moore, the pop singer (and occasional actress, though not for a long time) who has never done theater but, as an emcee-performer on Sunday, seemed to the manner born. She did a number from Chicago that was wholly credible as simply P!nk doing Chicago—someone passing through the room and catching 30 seconds of that on TV would very likely just assume that P!nk is in Chicago now. 

Which is a tortured way of saying that, it’s time for P!nk to do Broadway. Accidental or not, her Tonys hosting gig was an audition, and she nailed it. But what show should she do? Sure, she could slot right into Velma Kelly or (maybe) Roxy Hart, or she could ringmaster Moulin Rouge once Megan Thee Stallion is done. But that would put her in a stunt-casting realm better suited to Real Housewives—it’s probably too small potatoes for her. A show maybe needs to be built around P!nk—or revived just for her. I have some ideas of what that show could be.
