He can rock gold stillettos like a pro, glittery pink nail polish is second nature and if that wasn't enough, he can host a major Broadway event!

The event was held in Shubert Alley and featured some of the biggest stars on Broadway this season.

FUN HOME is taking New York and the entire world by storm. The three children in the show, Sydney Lucas, Oscar Williams and Zell Steele Morrow, take their extreme talent and cuteness to a whole new height in this performance of "Come to the Fun Home" on ABC's THE VIEW this week. Morrow sings some groovy tunes into the lemon pledge canister, Williams busts a move on the coffin and Lucas further proves why she's the youngest Tony Award nominee.

We know, you still aren't over Leonardo DiCaprio slipping into the cold ocean in the film TITANIC. Yes we know, there was totally enough room on the plank of wood, but if you can swallow your trust issues and travel to Toronto you won't want to miss the re-imagined production of TITANIC: THE MUSICAL. In this new reimagining of the musical, director Thom Southerland uses an ensemble cast, meaning that everyone in the cast plays two or three or more roles in the telling of the story. Pretty impressive? See more of the cast in action here.

The SEINFELD alum met up with some of the cast members of Fish in the Dark for a photo call and to of course crack some jokes with Larry David.
