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 this week in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which is forcing nations around the world to self-quarantine.
To keep folks entertained, Ben Platt sang "Rainbow" by Kacey Musgraves, Andrew Lloyd Webber continued his Twitter competition with Lin-Manuel Miranda by singing "I'll Be Back" from Hamilton, Tommy Bracco launched his #QuarantineCombo dance tutorial video series, and Aisha Jackson (Frozen) sang "Crush" from the musical Beau.
