Broadway Cares/ Equity Fights AIDS (BC/EFA) and The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center (The Center) presented BROADWAY BACKWARDS 5, a one night only event, on Monday, February 22 at 8 PM at the Vivian Beaumont Theater at Lincoln Center. BROADWAY BACKWARDS 5 is produced by BC/EFA and benefited BC/EFA and The Center. Broadway Beat and BroadwayWorld were there to capture some of these exciting highlights!

Never underestimate the power of a pronoun! BROADWAY BACKWARDS featured some of Broadway's biggest names singing songs originally written for the opposite gender: women singing songs written for men and men singing song written for women. By keeping all of the lyrics intact, including the original pronouns, each song takes on an entirely new dimension, sometimes with hysterical results and sometimes with immensely touching results. BROADWAY BACKWARDS gave its audience a chance to see and hear some of the most treasured songs of the Great White Way in a whole new light. BROADWAY BACKWARDS creator Robert Bartley returned as director and choreographer of this special evening with musical direction by Wayne Barker.
