Lin-Manuel Miranda Brings Broadway to Carpool Karaoke

Cue the fanfare: Lin-Manuel Miranda is on “Carpool Karaoke.” And he brought his A-game. 

In preparation for the Tony Awards on June 12, Broadway superstars Lin-Manuel Miranda, Audra McDonald, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Jane Krakowski all took a ride around the block with Late Late Show host James Corden. 

As is to be expected when a group of Broadway stars pile into one vehicle, they all contributed to one epic karaoke session. 

Miranda and Corden even did their own version of Miranda’s smash hit Hamilton. They talked about what might be different this time around, in contrast to when Miranda’s first musical, In the Heights, won a Tony in 2009. 

Miranda, Corden, McDonald, Ferguson and Krakowski also performed a couple of ensemble numbers from forever faves Rent and Les Miserables.

No joke, this Carpool Karaoke is the best thing to happen since Hamilton. And if we weren’t watching the Tony Awards before, we sure are now!
