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.
