Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS will present its 2017 Broadway Backwards concert on March 13 at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre.
Broadway Backwards is an annual celebration where gays and lesbians experience their stories as told through the great songs of musical theater. The evening is produced by Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and benefits BC/EFA and the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center of New York. Last year’s edition featured a 67-person cast of Broadway and screen stars backed by a live orchestra. It raised a record $480,287.
Broadway Backwards creator Robert Bartley will direct the show, with Mary-Mitchell Campbell as music supervisor and Laura Bergquist as music director. Choreography will be created by Bartley, Christopher Rice, and Adam Roberts. This year's special guest performers will be announced in the coming weeks.
