VIDEO: Stagedoor Manor Launches #BroadwayForOrlando Singing Challenge

In response to the growing popularity of the Broadway Records recording of "What the World Needs Now Is Love," which benefits the victims of the Orlando shooting massacre, the young performers of Stagedoor Manor have filmed their own video of the 1965 Burt Bacharach and Hal David hit.

They've also initiated a challenge to raise money in the fight against hate.

As posted on Facebook, "Stagedoor Manor challenges Beanie Feldstein, Sam Massell and Erich Bergen to sing their favorite part of "What The World Needs Now Is Love." For each share or challenge, Stagedoor will donate $10 to the GLBT Center of Central Florida, up to $5,000, because love is love is love. When you post your video, challenge others and don't forget to use #BroadwayForOrlando. You can also download the star-studded original recording at http://apple.co/29hRFUg."

Beanie Feldstein recently appeared as Nora in "Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising." Samantha Massell currently plays Hodel in the Broadway revival of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF and Erich Bergen stars on CBS's "Madam Secretary."

Broadway Records President Van Dean, SiriusXM Radio Host Seth Rudetsky and Producer James Wesley together organized the charitable initiative Broadway for Orlando and an all-star roster of theater artists to record the new benefit single.

Before there was "Glee" or "American Idol," there was Stagedoor Manor, a theater camp in the Catskills where casting directors came to find the next generation of stars. It's where Natalie Portman, Robert Downey Jr., Ansel Elgort, Lea Michele, Jon Cryer and many others got their start as kids. Since 1976, a new crop of campers have stepped onto these stages each summer to begin an intense, thrilling and magical introduction to professional theater. Every three weeks, 14 full-scale productions come to life. The faculty - all seasoned professionals - demand adult-size dedication and performances from the kids. Visit stagedoormanor.com.
