As you know, February is Black History Month. We here at Broadway Sessions wanted to take a moment to reflect on the massive impact of African American legacy on Broadway and beyond. We rallied an incredible roster of some of Broadway's most fantastic voices to speak and sing on the subject. The result was moving and hilarious and powerful and poignant. And the singing? Well, let's just say y'all aren't ready for this!

Enjoy performances from Denee Benton (Great Comet), Arbender Robinson (In Transit, The Little Mermaid), Imari Hardon (Avenue Q), Ari Groover (Bare), Donell Foreman (The Book of Mormon), Allison Semmes (Motown), Zurin Villanueva (Mean Girls), Brandi Chavonne Massey (Jasper in Deadland, Wicked), Blaine Krauss (Kinky Boots), Shonica Gooden (Cats), Sean Green Jr. (Hamilton), Romelda Teron Benjamin (BKLYN), Trista Dollison (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), Christiani Pitts (A Bronx Tale) and Latoya Edwards. You may want to take your shoes off and get ready to throw the at the screen... it's that good!

Join us this week at Broadway Sessions as we celebrate the music of award winning composers Thomson and Desmon w/ an all star cast!
