P!nk, Queen Latifah, Whitney Leavitt and more are about to bring all that jazz — and then some — to the Tony Awards stage in honor of Chicago‘s 30th anniversary.
As announced by the award show on Monday (June 1), this year’s ceremony will include a tribute to three decades of Fred Ebb, Bob Fosse and John Kander’s iconic Broadway musical. Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Alex Newell, Adrienne Warren, Julianne Hough and Dylan Mulvaney will also perform in the Chicago segment.
The beloved Jazz Age musical first opened on Broadway in 1975 and ran for about two years. Reopening in 1996, the revival is Broadway’s longest-running show of all time.
The aforementioned Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star just completed her run as Roxie Hart in the Chicago revival in early May, while Queen Latifah earned an Oscar nod for her portrayal of the character Matron Mama Morton in the 2002 film adaptation. In addition to joining in on the Chicago spectacular, P!nk is in place to host this year’s Tony’s, which will broadcast live from Radio City Music Hall in New York City on June 7.
Available to watch on CBS or stream on Paramount+, the three-hour program will kick off at 8 p.m. ET.
As previously announced, the original Broadway cast of The Book of Mormon — including Andrew Rannells and Josh Gad — will also perform during the 2026 ceremony to mark its 15th anniversary. Viewers can expect to see more announcements for additional performances this week, according to a press release.
The original Broadway cast of Chicago included Jerry Orbach, Chita Rivera and Gwen Verdon. In early 2003, the soundtrack from the Rob Marshall-directed film adaptation debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200.
