10 Times Keegan-Michael Key Showed Us He Had the Musical Chops For Netflix's The Prom

When it comes to movie musicals, comedian Keegan-Michael Key's name isn't normally the one that comes to mind. However, Key actually went to both undergraduate and graduate school for theater, earning degrees from the University of Detroit-Mercy and Penn State University. He even once had a job as a singing telegram. During his "19-year detour into comedy," he was able to showcase his vocal talents on Key & Peele. So yes, the sultry vocals of Gustafson in Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey and Tom Hawkins in The Prom are actually Key's. Now that you know he can really sing, it's understandable you might want to check out some of his other singing videos. Sadly, they're few and far between, but there are just enough skits and interview appearances to hopefully keep you satisfied ahead.
