All-star tribute to Craig Zadan included J-Hud, Hilty, Bernadette, Audra, Chenoweth, Zellweger, Stamos, Connick Jr. & more!

A tribute to the life and career of late, great Craig Zadan – the prolific film, TV and Broadway producer – took place over the weekend at the Television Academy’s Wolf Theatre.

It looked like it was a show for the ages.

Here is an except from Deadline Hollywood’s Pete Hammond’s story detailing the evening:

Let’s face it, when you have a murderer’s row of incomparable talents like Kristen Chenoweth doing a duet with Sean Hayes from their Broadway teaming in the Zadan-Meron production Promises Promises, followed by her lilting solo of “Til There Was You” from The Music Man, in which she fought to stop the tears; then Amber Riley bringing down the house with a soaring “Home” from The Wiz; directly into Broadway superstar Bernadette Peters and her poignant rendition of the Sondheim song “With So Little To Be Sure Of” from Anyone Can Whistle; into Audra McDonald’s inspiring and powerful “Climb Every Mountain” from The Sound of Music ; and followed shortly by Jennifer Hudson and choir’s roof-raising Hairspray anthem “I Know Where I’ve Been” — with all receiving standing ovation after standing ovation — then you know you are witnessing something very rare and special in this business.

My heart melts every time I'm with @KChenoweth especially this past Sunday at the celebration of @craigzadan Her performance of TILL THERE WAS YOU from #TheMusicMan was stunning. pic.twitter.com/mpvljnfFeK
