A dazzling display of Broadway talent was on display last night at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts in Downtown Orlando, Florida, performing in FROM BROADWAY WITH LOVE, a concert to benefit the Central Florida LGBTQ Community and the victims of the Pulse Nightclub shooting.

While there was a lot of work to be quickly done, many of the performers still found time to snap photos for their social media pages. Here's a sampling:
