Alicia Keys had ample cause to celebrate heading into the 77th Annual Tony Awards, for her production ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ was nominated in a whopping 13 categories.
In toasting the nods (which materialized into multiple wins), the star was joined by JAY-Z on stage for a special performance of their classic ‘Empire State of Mind’ alongside the cast.
The 2009 chart-topping smash pays homage to New York and features in the hit Broadway show. Thus making the live offering a full circle moment on many fronts.
Watch Keys and JAY-Z’s triumphant showing below…

Rappers need to take notes from Jay Z on how to perform. Breath control, stage presence, NO BACKTRACK. Straight up musicality! The GOAT! Lil Mama was missed lol
300 million dollars Jayz wanna give Philadelphia. I asked him not to spend that Philadelphia has so much hatred for the little black woman who reminds them of Harriet Tubman they have been harassing her I’m sure you have heard about it
Smh that s*** ain’t right where T.F. is the queen of rap LIL MAMMA!
