Brady, who made his name on the improv TV show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" brought out fellow Kinky Boots cast members for some comically half-baked raps. To show the audience how it’s done, he then enlisted a pair of ringers—Miranda and Jackson from the rap filled Hamilton to demonstrate some virtuoso freestyling to words shouted out by the audience. The skit, titled "We All Can Rap, Too" will have to go down in Gypsy of the Year history with an asterisk, since it beat the presentation by Hamilton itself.
Anthony Ramos, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Corey Hawkins, and more star in the film adaptation of the Lin-Manuel Miranda-Quiara Alegría Hudes Best Musical winner.
Betty Buckley, Matthew Broderick, André De Shields, Jane Krakowski, Bernadette Peters, and Lillias White are also part of The York Theatre Company benefit.
