BILLY PORTER'S BIG BREAK

Even if you watched every minute of the Tonys broadcast, you missed one of the evening's highlights. As host James Corden explained on his show, he went to the star-studded audience during commercial breaks for "Broadway Karaoke" in hopes of keeping the show's energy up. Billy Porter's rendition of "Everything's Coming Up Roses" from Gypsy, performed spontaneously and captured primarily by cell-phone cameras, is simply a knockout and earned a standing O from the very discerning crowd. Even Ethel Merman, we believe, would give this her stamp of approval.
