Photo Flash: Broadway All-Stars Prep for Tonight's Performance on NBC's MAYA & MARTY

Broadway's top musical artists will appear on tonight's telecast of "Maya & Marty" on NBC to perform "What the World Needs Now Is Love," an updated version of the classic Burt Bacharach/Hal David song that is helping to support the devastated LGBT community of Orlando, Fla.

The appearance marks the first time the song will be performed outside the recording studio by this all-star Broadway lineup.

The song and accompanying video is currently sold onBroadwayRecords.com and will be available on iTunes with all proceeds going to the LGBT Center of Central Florida.
