Broadway Gives Back to Charities

Broadway Gives Back presents the third annual “Broadway Charity Songs”  7 pm March 22 at 54 Below.

“Broadway Charity Songs” pairs a group of award-winning songwriters with a group of charities and tasks each songwriter with composing an original song inspired by the mission of the charity. The result is an evening of songs gifted to the charities -- increasing awareness for these outstanding organizations.

The concert will feature songs by Sting and Brian Yorkey, Henry Krieger, Andrew Lippa, Benj Pasek Justin Paul, Jeff Blumenkrantz, Adam Gwon, David Friedman, Lewis Flinn, Andy Monroe, Timothy Huang, Nadav Wiesel, Andre Catrini, Nolan Livesay and Nathan Brisby, and Jonathan Breit.

The concert will honor the following charity organizations: Donors Choose, Bring Change 2 Mind, The Ronald McDonald House, The Tanenbaum Center for Interreligious Understanding, The Ryan Waldheger Research Memorial Foundation, Helping Hands Monkey Helpers, Duke Children’s, Landfill Harmonic, GLAAD, Dogs on Deployment, Heartbeat, Springwire (An Initiative of Feeding America), Chia Lifeline, and Project Linus.

Casting, which will feature some of Broadway’s greatest talents, will be announced at a later date. Doors will open at 5:15 with the concert beginning at 7 pm. Tickets are available on the 54 Below website at http://54below.com/artist/the-3rd-annual-broadway-charity-songs-concert.
