- At Broadway Backwards 2019, the show rapturously ended with Colella singing “Louder Than Words” from Tick, Tick...BOOM!, backed by Broadway Inspirational Voices. The soul-stirring performance asked: “Why do we follow leaders who never lead? Why does it take catastrophe to start a revolution?... Actions speak louder than words.”

“Louder Than Words” by Jonathan Larson from Tick, Tick...BOOM!
Musical staging by Robert Bartley and Robbie Roby
Arranged by Michael McElroy
Orchestrated by Julie McBride
Conducted by Ted Arthur & Michael McElroy
A bevy of Broadway’s brightest stars joined a sold-out audience on March 11, 2019, to celebrate and motivate the LGBTQ community and its allies through gender-reversed renditions of beloved show tunes, spectacular choreography and a record-breaking fundraising total at Broadway Backwards.
The 14th annual edition of the show raised $704,491 to benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center in New York City. The previous fundraising record was set last year at $680,273.
Broadway Backwards (#BroadwayBackwards), which was produced by Broadway Cares at the New Amsterdam Theatre, featured a cast of 130 performers and a live, 12-piece orchestra. It started with two of Broadway’s favorite singing-and-dancing leading men - Gavin Creel and Andrew Rannells - and ended with a stirring anthem led by the evening’s host, Tony Award nominee Jenn Colella (Come From Away).
Broadway Backwards creator Robert Bartley wrote and directed this year’s show. Mary-Mitchell Campbell served as music supervisor; Ted Arthur and Christopher D. Littlefield were music directors. The evening's choreographers were Robert Bartley, Karla Puno Garcia, Paul McGill, Mimi Quillin, Stephen Reed and Robbie Roby. The creative team included lighting designer Timothy Reed, costume designers Johnna Fettinger, Jess Gersz and Natalie Loveland, prop designers Jenna Snyder and Alexander Wylie and sound designers Kurt Fischer and Marie Renee Foucher. The production stage manager was Jeff Brancato.

Jonathan Larson, gone too soon. I love Jenn & what an honor for her to sing this song.
The suit and the voice, just yes.
Favorite song + Favorite Actress = Immense LOVE!!!
I would really like to be an audience member at one of these fabulous shows but, I can't find a bus 🚌 that will take me from England! Thank God for TH-cam. XXXXX.
you need a plane or maybe one day they come here
Contact Spongebob…
Oh I love this song so much and this passion of all performers on stage just made me cry ... goosebumps all over! Very nice version that underlies the power and meaning of the song. Beautiful!
I'm so weird. I see who the backup singers are and immediately spend the rest of the time watching a friend of mine even though he's mostly blocked by the conductor of the choir. GO CHRIS GO (no seriously it's a great song, I'm just excited to see him)
That ain’t weird, that’s supportive!
johnny is a dream role, her singing this is so woah. also im so incredibly grateful for everything we got from jonathan and everything jen tepper is going to give us
I fell out of my seat on the last note. That choir is AMAZING!
Wonderful Jenn. Wonderful chorus.
oh my god I used to adore this song, and then I totally forgot about it. im so glad this was here to remind me
What a queen I love her so much💜
I'm crying!!!!!! Thank you so much for this!!!!!
What a disgustingly beautiful cover of this unreasonably gorgeous song. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Amazin song and favorite actress!!!!
So many chills. How wonderfully done.
I panicked and thought it was Eddie redmayne but no , I was given this angel!
i loveeeee that voice
Cages or wings, indeed. We know who has been putting children in cages. I am going to watch this and listen to this EVERY DAY until these dark days are gone. THANK YOU for posting it!
@Unshaken Productions As an unvaccinated person, be sure to go out and mingle in large crowds this holiday season! [ cough ! cough ! Another one bites the dust! And be sure to sign up for a recurring monthly donation from your checking account to Orange Cheeto.]
@Unshaken Productions So long as you are the least vaccinated state, then, like South Africa, you are a breeding ground from which new variants will emerge, and I wouldn’t trust any statistics that Florida releases. DeSantis has been known to suppress statistics that are not favorable to him.
@Unshaken Productions You fail to see that the four years that Orange Cheeto soiled the White House were years of TERROR for most of us. Every day, something stupid.....from the blood red, " modern" Christmas trees to failing to take COVID seriously.
YES, QUEEN!!!!!
this song: killing me since 2k4
Oh my god. This was incredible!! I am simply crying with amazement right now
THANK YOU FOR THIS
“What does it take to wake up a generation?”
You ever hear the voice of a woman so beautiful you started crying???
YES! but this wasn't the one...
lukngud mind sharing?
@@baguette9846, too many! This was OK, but nowhere near moving to tears!
lukngud I'll politely disagree, because I am gay and likely biased
@@baguette9846, obviously I am Gay as well and this was simply not a performance so Emotionally Powered to make me Cry.
This is great. Now actually put Tick Tick Boom on Broadway.
2 microphones?
To add to the awesomeness
@@mezzate3122, you need more experience with "awesome."
I love Jenn and they sound incredible but I’m not a fan of the arrangement. I think the tempo needed to be a touch faster and key could be down a notch, but to each their own!
Saccharine. Doesn't build. One-level chorus. Won't end.
