In addition to the performances from the Best Musical and Best Musical Revival nominees, there were multiple special performances of iconic modern classics. To celebrate its 15th Broadway anniversary, The Book of Mormon reunited original cast members including Josh Gad, Andrew Rannells, Rory O’Malley, and Nikki M. James, while the show’s ever-irreverrent creators — Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Robert Lopez — introduced the number.
P!nk later rouged her knees and rolled her stockings down for a performance celebrating Chicago‘s 30th anniversary on Broadway, also featuring the starry likes of Queen Latifah, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Whitney Leavitt. Rachel Zegler sang a tribute to A Chorus Line for its 50th anniversary, and Hamilton Tony winner Leslie Odom, Jr. led the In Memoriam section with a moving rendition of “Without You” from Rent, honoring its 30th.
