Ben Platt Sings 'Tomorrow' During Commercial Break at Tony Awards 2019! (Video)

Ben Platt joins host James Corden for a performance during the commercial break at the 2019 Tony Awards on Sunday (June 9) at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

James didn’t have a car to do carpool karaoke, so he instead did commercial break karaoke by having stars sing Broadway tunes while the cameras weren’t rolling.

Lucky for us, audience members took videos on their phones and posted them to social media.

Ben Platt sang the song “Tomorrow” from the musical Annie alongside James. Watch the moment below.

Also, make sure to check out Billy Porter getting a standing ovation after singing a tune from Gypsy.

FYI: Ben is wearing Prada.
