Broadway’s biggest stars are rallying together to support the LGBT community in the wake of the Orlando gay nightclub shooting.
A slew of theater and Hollywood stars – dubbed Broadway for Orlando – are recording a Jackie DeShannon’s 1965 hit “What the World Needs Now Is Love,” and the track will be available for download on Monday.
One-hundred percent of the proceeds from sales of the song – available to preorder for $1.99 on BroadwayRecords.com – will go to benefit the LGBT Center of Central Florida.
