Broadway Gives Back and Seaview Productions presented the "Second Annual Broadway Charity Songs" benefit concert on February 24, 2014. "Broadway Charity Songs" has paired a group of award-winning musical theatre composers with a group outstanding charities and tasked them with composing an original song inspired by the work of that charity. The result is a group of songs gifted to the charities - with the hope that the songs "go viral" -- increasing awareness for these outstanding organizations.
