Tony Award winners, Broadway legends and newcomers shared LGBTQ+ stories through show tunes at Broadway Backwards at Broadway’s New Amsterdam Theatre on March 11, 2024.
John McGinty (Children of a Lesser God) led a powerful number as a deaf college student confronting his mother about her insensitivities around his sexuality and hearing impairment. He passionately signed “Listen” from the Dreamgirls film, which was voiced by Jordan Fisher (Hadestown), whose vocals reflected the fiery plea. Daniel Marmion and Morgana Shaw played McGinty’s parents.
