After the show last night, Clooney’s celebrity friends and loved ones stayed around for an after-party. Of course, it was the starriest of affairs, bringing in big industry names including Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, Hugh Jackman (who starred in his own Broadway revival a couple years ago), Uma Thurman, and Jennifer Lopez.
