It's time to put your musical knowledge to the test! During a segment on a recent episode of The Tonight Show, guest James Corden and host Jimmy Fallon played a game where they were tasked with singing a song from a randomly selected musical. Watch the pair as they perform Hamilton, Chicago, Little Shop of Horrors, and more.
In another part of the interview, Corden, currently on Broadway in Art, spoke about returning to the stage in the acclaimed play. Corden stars as Yvan in the production, alongside Bobby Cannavale and Neil Patrick Harris. "It's a brilliant part. It's a part I've always wanted to play," said the Tony Award winner. Watch his conversation with Fallon below.
