Broadway Cares thanks Jenn Colella and the entire Broadway Backwards company, who brought their A-game to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.

Your support of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and New York City’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center helps those onstage and backstage through the Entertainment Community Fund’s essential programs, assists those affected by HIV/AIDS and facing other health challenges and provides a safe space for LGBTQ+ youth needing refuge.

We could not be more grateful for your time, passion and advocacy. Thank you!

An all-star ensemble appeared as a ragtag group of LGBTQ+ activists in a rendition of “One Day More” at Broadway Backwards. Philippe Arroyo, Bradley Dean, Jeigh Madjus, Ellyn Marie Marsh, Chris McCarrell, Turner Riley, Alexandra Silber and Paul C. Vogt led a chorus of voices raising the flag of freedom high in this inspiring number.

This year’s #BroadwayBackwards raised a record $765,069 to provide meals and medication, counseling and health care, housing and hope for those who need them most through Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and NYC’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center.

Here’s a little treat for the #hurderhive. Monday’s Broadway Backwards featured Robyn Hurder’s dynamic rendition of “Buddy’s Blues,” featuring her own choreography. Joined by Samantha Gershman and Brinie Wallace, this was a performance that would make anyone a little girl-crazy.

A vibrant air of support and community flooded #Broadway’s New Amsterdam Theatre last night as the incomparable Lea Salonga led the #BroadwayBackwards ensemble in a tender rendition of “Love Who You Love.” With a warmth that made us believe “everyone’s heart does exactly the same,” she wrapped the audience in her caring arms to close the dazzling celebration of LGBTQ+ stories and musical theater.

Thank you to our supporters, cast, crew and creative team who came together to support Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and New York City’s LGBT Center.
