An extremely limited number of tickets remain available for Monday's 10th anniversary edition of Broadway Backwards, the annual celebration where gays and lesbians experience their stories as told through the great songs of musical theatre and performed by their favorite Broadway stars.

This year's Broadway Backwards (#bwaybackwards), which will feature some of the most memorable numbers from previous years, will be held at 8 pm Monday, March 9, 2015, at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre (302 West 45th Street). The evening is produced by Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and benefits BC/EFA and the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center of New York.

Tickets are available online at broadwaycares.org or by calling 212.840.0770, ext. 268. The remaining tickets are $85.

Tony Award nominee Rob McClure and Julie Halston will co-host this year's show, which features a special guest appearance by Lily Tomlin and performances by Tony Award winners Len Cariou, Lena Hall, Brian Stokes Mitchell and Lillias White, Tony nominees Charles Busch, Mario Cantone, Robin De Jesús, Norm Lewis, Lee Roy Reams and Douglas Sills, and Broadway favorites Jim Brochu, Tituss Burgess, Jenn Colella, Harvey Evans, Shawna M. Hamic, Ann Harada, Florence Henderson, Aaron Lazar, Telly Leung, Maureen McGovern, Brian Charles Rooney, Jason Michael Snow, Elizabeth Stanley, Micah Stock, Well-Strung and Tony Yazbeck. Performers subject to change.

Broadway Backwards creator Robert Bartley again directs and choreographs the show. Also returning are Mary-Mitchell Campbell as music supervisor and Tim Rosser as music director. Adam Roberts serves as associate choreographer with lighting design by Ryan O'Gara and costume design by Bernadette Banner.

Last year's sold-out show raised a record-breaking $423,182 and featured a lineup of 51 performers from Broadway, film and television.

Broadway Backwards began as a grassroots concert performed at the Center in 2006. In subsequent years, the event grew quickly, performing Off-Broadway, then on Broadway for the last six years.

Broadway Backwards is sponsored by The New York Times and United Airlines.
