Video: Audra McDonald & Brian Stokes Mitchell Perform 'Wheels of a Dream' From RAGTIME on THE TODAY SHOW

Emmy, Grammy and six-time Tony Award winner Audra McDonald and two-time Tony Award winner Brian Stokes Mitchell reunited to perform "Wheels of a Dream" from Ragtime ahead of The Entertainment Community Fund's one-night-only benefit reunion concert of the classic musical.

"It's such an honor every time I get a chance to get up on stage with Stokes and it always feels so easy when I'm up on stage with him so to be back, to be with the entire cast again, and to revisit this incredible score, this incredible story, it's a gift," McDonald shared before the performance.

Their TODAY Show performance is the latest in the morning show's lineup of Broadway performances this week, following Bad Cinderella yesterday (watch here). The TODAY Show will also feature performances from Parade and Shucked this week. Check out the complete lineup here. Watch the new performance below!
