TONY-A-LOO-YA, BABY! Cynthia Erivo didn’t just open the 2025 Tony Awards — she cracked the heavens open like a Broadway Fabergé egg and summoned pure musical chaos in the best possible way. The woman grabbed a mic, declared war on silence, and sang her FACE off in a rafter-shattering original number called “Sometimes All You Need Is a Song” — and honestly? Preach.
The 38-year-old theater deity, Tony-winner, and now master of ceremonies descended onto the Radio City Music Hall stage like a glitter-drenched Pegasus, belting notes so high they probably disoriented a few pigeons in Times Square. And just when we thought our wigs were secure, BAM — OPRAH. Yes, thee Oprah Winfrey apparated mid-song like a benevolent Broadway fairy godmother and recreated her legendary “holding space” pose with Cynthia. Spiritual? Biblical? Full-body goosebumps? All of the above.
Cynthia then went full Broadway Pied Piper, high-kicking her way into the audience and dragging celebs into her sparkly musical vortex. Kristin Chenoweth? Dragged. Adam Lambert? Vocally slain. Aaron Tveit? Popped up like a chorus boy at a confetti cannon convention. It was like Les Mis, Cats, and a gospel brunch had a fever dream together — and we watched it LIVE.
So yes, go ahead and watch the video below… if your spirit can handle it. Because sometimes all you need is a song — and maybe a surprise Oprah and a hint of jazz hands. 🎶🫠👑
