The actress picked up her fifth Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical for her work in The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess.

Onstage Audra performed the classic “Summertime” before being joined by her fellow Tony-nominated co-stars Norm Lewis and David Alan Grier for a medley from the show.

The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess also picked up the award for Best Revival of a Musical!
