Broadway Charity Songs paired award-winning musical theatre composers with various charities and asked each composer to write an original song that the charity could use for fundraising purposes. The result, according to press notes, is a "group of songs gifted to the charities – with the hope that the songs 'go viral' – increasing awareness for these outstanding organizations."
The evening will be hosted by Douglas Carter Beane.
Performers will include Teal Wicks, Lisa Howard, Natalie Weiss, Marla Mindelle, Lilli Cooper, Taylor Richardson, Jill Abromovitz, Elizabeth Loyacano, Julia Mattison, Colin Israel, Gabe Violet, Jeremy Morse, Emily Rosenfeld, Alex Dreier, Carly Paige Baron, Anthony Pierini, Mary Kate Morrissey, Preston Sadleir, Joey DeBenedetto, Jason Sweettooth Williams, Tamrin Goldberg, Aaron Komo and Adam Sica.
The aforementioned artists will be debuting songs by Andrew Lippa, Adam Gwon, Daniel Maté, Douglas J. Cohen, Beth Falcone, Zoe Samak, Jonathan Reid Gealt, Joshua H. Cohen, Marisa Michelson, Anna Dagmar, Kevin Wanzor, Noel Carey, Andre Catrini, Nadav Wiesel, Sean Patterson and Natalie Tenenbaum.
