Jay-Z's electrifying reunion with Alicia Keys on what appeared to be a live duet of Empire State Of Mind at the Tony Awards on Sunday was actually pre-taped, a show official who wasn't authorized to speak publicly told The Associated Press.
Fans of the rapper in the audience at Lincoln Center's David H. Koch Theater were disappointed that his performance in support of Keys' musical Hell's Kitchen was all a ruse She soon got up and went down the steps of the stage, into the orchestra seat section and then out the side of the auditorium. The audience inside the auditorium were shown live on television, but so far no photos have surfaced of the two performers together as they initially taped Jay-Z's appearance.
CJay Philip, the winner of an excellence in theater education award at the Tonys, told the publication she was excited to see Jay-z for a 'second,' before realizing that the odd staging meant it was all a ruse, although she said her mother bought it and thoroughly enjoyed it.
