Broadway Stars Raise Their Voices for Orlando

Broadway Stars Raise Their Voices for Orlando

A chorus of Broadway celebrities raised their voices in song in response to the June 12 Orlando shooting massacre, the worst in U.S. history. Actors, singers and songwriters—including Matthew Broderick, Sara Bareilles, Sean Hayes, Carole King, Nathan Lane, Audra McDonald, Michael Cerveris, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Orfeh, Andréa Burns, Sarah Jessica Parker and dozens more—gathered June 15 at Avatar Studios to sing a benefit single of “What the World Needs Now is Love,” produced by Seth Rudestky, James Westley and Broadway Records in conjunction with a music video filmed and produced by Playbill. The single and video will be available June 20. The digital download will be available for purchase at BroadwayRecords.com with 100% of proceeds benefiting the LGBT Center of Central Florida.
