The new Carpool Karaoke takes on famous musicals, including ‘Les Misérables’

Conor Heneghan

The urge to sing along may just be impossible to resist.

Just when you thought James Corden had covered every possible artist and musical genre with his popular Carpool Karaoke series, he’s pulled something out the bag that takes it in a totally different direction.

Ahead of the Tony Awards (for New York’s theatrical shows) next week, which Corden will host, he took a spin through the Big Apple and was joined by a host of performers who have graced Broadway stages over the years.

With the help of Lin-Manuel Miranda (the man behind Hamilton, the hottest theatre ticket in the world right now), Audra McDonald, Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Modern Family), and Jane Krakowski (that’s Jenna from 30 Rock and Jacqueline from Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), Corden passed the time through New York’s traffic by singing a variety of Broadway classics, the highlight being the rousing ‘One Day More’ from Les Misérables.

Corden and friends certainly gave it socks and be careful if you’re watching this one at work because you’ll find yourself singing along without even knowing it.

And don’t watch it late at night either:
