"In 1997, from my college dorm room at Syracuse University, I created a website as an ode to The Phantom of the Opera's Michael Crawford as a way for his fans to come together," said BroadwayWorld Founder Robert Diamond. "Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that it would evolve into an online community for theater lovers and professionals from all around the world, or that twenty years later, we would be celebrating this milestone with so many talented artists. I love the theatre, I love this community and we ALL love Broadway Cares."
As previously announced, BroadwayWorld's 20th Anniversary Celebration Concert will be hosted by Tony Award-Winning Broadway legend Chita Rivera, along with her longtime friend, BroadwayWorld's own Richard Ridge.

Tickets for the event are now on sale at bww20.broadwayworld.com.
