The funeral or Joan Rivers was held yesterday at a syngogue in New York City. Following an opening prayer from the officiating rabbi at the services, six-time Tony award winner Audra McDonald performed a moving version of the classic song, "Smile," reportedly one of Rivers' favorites songs.

Also present to sing before the over two-thousand mourners was Broadway's Hugh Jackman. The 'Les Mis' star, who will soon make his return to Broadway in 'The River,' sang "Quiet Please, There's a Lady on Stage," a song written by Peter Allen from the musical "The Boy From Oz.".
