BROADWAY BACKWARDS, the once-a-year celebration of the LGBT community, brought down the house last week while raising a record-setting $347,060 to benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center. This year's total surpassed the previous record of $329,000, set last year.

The sold-out show left the audience cheering after unforgettable performances by Tony Award winners Len Cariou, Judy Kaye, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Karen Ziemba, and a stirring recreation from Dreamgirls by Tituss Burgess. This year's show included a recurring story about a man on a personal journey, ultimately finding love in an unexpected place. Featured throughout the show were Tony nominee Tony Sheldon (Priscilla Queen of the Desert) and Jim Brochu (Zero Hour) with special appearances by five-time Emmy Award winner Doris Roberts and four-time Tony nominee and five-time Emmy nominee Victor Garber.

BROADWAY BACKWARDS, produced by Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, was presented this year in the historic Palace Theatre, now celebrating its 100th anniversary and currently home to the hit revival Annie.
