A host of Broadway celebrities and performers are taking to social media to spread joy when attending the theatre is not an option. The videos began appearing in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which is forcing nations around the world to self-quarantine.
To keep folks entertained, Donnie Osmond returned to Joseph and the Amazing Techicolor Dreamcoat; Sing Street star Zara Devlin covered Dusty Springfield's "I Only Want to Be With You;" Norbert Leo Butz sang to "Daffodils" from Big Fish; and Broadway Sings For Pride reminded us of the time Beautiful tour star Kennedy Caughell covered Rihanna (with a Barbara Streisand twist).
Check them out below, and keep coming back for more videos!
