Audiences disappointed over the cancellation of the March 16 Broadway Backwards concert, benefiting Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, have a reason to cheer. Broadway Cares has carefully curated a YouTube playlist of some of the last decade's most popular performances, and now at-home audiences can enjoy Broadway Backwards Encore: 2020 Virtual Concert.
Along the videos in the playlist are Ethan Slater's upside-down take on "The Lady Is a Tramp," Florence Henderson singing "There's Nothing Like a Dame," Tituss Burgess performing "And I Am Telling You," and Jay Armstrong Johnson and Andrew Keenan-Bolger singing "Sixteen Going on Seventeen." Check out the full playlist here.
The production will include Bernstein’s incidental music for Lillian Hellman’s adaptation of The Lark, and Menotti’s The Unicorn, The Gorgon, and The Manticore.
Based on the novel and film by Frank Cottrell Boyce, the new musical will reunite Guettel with Tony-winning Light in the Piazza director Bartlett Sher.
