To keep folks entertained, Patti LuPone showed us Norma's groovy side, Lin-Manuel Miranda sang a touching tribute with "New York," by St. Vincent; Abby Goldfarb sang "The Corona and I" to the tune of Wicked; Daniel Radcliffe dropped by The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to show off his Jurassic Park Lego set; and Ramin Karimloo sang "Brother My Brother" from The Civil War.
