Broadway Shines will appear on 'Good Morning America' on Wednesday, December 14, 2016 during the 8:30 a.m. half-hour as part of GMA's 'Warm Coats & Warm Hearts' Drive.

This year, the goal is to donate 400 coats by working with the cast and crew of The Lion King, Matilda, On Your Feet, Beautiful the Carole King Musical, and Kinky Boots.
The holiday season is not complete without the perfect music to accompany it. 'Broadway's Carols for a Cure' is the latest compilation album that embodies the spirit of the season like nothing else can. A project born completely out of love, 'Broadway's Carols for a Cure' pairs the casts from famous Broadway musicals with songs that are both classic and new. The result is pure gold that will make you reach for the 'repeat' button over and over again.
