The reworked Moulin Rouge musical number also featured Lea Michele, Dylan Mulvaney, June Squibb, and Shoshana Bean<\/p>\n
\n\tP!nk opened the Tony Awards<\/a> last night with a star-studded performance of \u201cLady Marmalade,\u201d her 2001 number from Moulin Rouge<\/a>. The singer, who also hosted the awards show, was joined by Megan Thee Stallion<\/a>, who recently exited her run<\/a> in the Broadway production of the musical early. <\/p>\n \n\tP!nk kicked off the annual theater awards show, held at Radio City Music Hall, alongside former Tonys<\/a> host Neil Patrick Harris<\/a>. The singer initially appeared on wires as Peter Pan, but Harris quickly suggested she try something else. \u201cI\u2019m worried some people will wonder why P!nk is hosting the Tonys,\u201d she said. \u201cI just want to make sure everyone knows I\u2019m thrilled to be here and I want my opener to be as \u2018Broadway\u2019 as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tShe then launched into a rendition of \u201cLady Marmalade\u201d with the help of multiple Broadway performers, including Dylan Mulvaney<\/a> and Shoshana Bean. P!nk changed up the lyrics to reflect the event, calling out attendees like Lesley Manville, Rose Byrne, and Carrie Coon. Lea Michele made a cameo to belt, \u201cWe don\u2019t do it for the awards,\u201d and June Squibb also got a moment in the spotlight. After some fanfare, Megan stepped in to rework Lil\u2019 Kim\u2019s rap from the original. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \n\tP!nk, Lil\u2019 Kim, Christina Aguilera, and Mya recorded a new version of Labelle\u2019s \u201cLady Marmalade\u201d in 2001 for the film Moulin Rouge, starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor. The track won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals.<\/p>\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n
