The singer also reveals the Broadway cast albums she and daughter Willow are constantly playing at home — and whether she'd ever consider a jukebox musical of her own catalog.

She’s topped the Billboard Hot 100 four times and scored 15 top 10 hits on the chart; placed three albums atop the Billboard 200 and nine in the top 10; won three Grammy Awards; been named a Billboard Legend of Live, and is known for her astounding aerial feats. But this Sunday, June 7, longtime pop star P!nk will add a more unexpected achievement to her resume: hosting Broadway’s biggest night, the Tony Awards .

She grew up loving classic musicals (and sometimes acted in them); now, her daughter Willow Sage Hart is not only a devoted musical theater fan but an aspiring performer herself, now attending performing arts school in New York.

I’m doing… something! And it’s gonna be amazing! I’m like, living out my childhood dreams right now.” P!nk caught up with Billboard days ahead of the Tonys to discuss her own musical theater past, the shows she’s constantly listening to with her daughter, and whether she’d ever consider letting her catalog become the basis for a musical. Billboard: Broadway cast recordings can be formative just like pop albums; was there a gateway theater album that really got you into musical theater? P!nk: Annie .
