Keala Settle, Steel Burkhardt and More Set for BROADWAY SINGS BRUNO MARS This May

The initial artists are now confirmed for "Broadway Sings Bruno Mars", the eighth installment of the acclaimed Broadway Sings concert series. Some of Broadway's current, brightest talents will sing completely new arrangements of the hits of funk superstar Bruno Mars, accompanied by a full band playing brand new, original orchestrations of the singer's greatest songs. The previous sold-out shows included Adele, Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Stevie Wonder, Amy Winehouse, Justin Timberlake, and P!NK.

Performers include Nick Rashad Burroughs (Kinky Boots), Steel Burkhardt (Aladdin, Hair), Alison Case (Hands on a Hardbody, Hair), Corey Mach (Hands on a Hardbody, Godspell), Zak Resnick (Mamma Mia!), Keala Settle (Les Miserables, Hands on a Hardbody), and Joey Toranto (Kinky Boots, Rock of Ages). Additional performers will be announced at a later date.

The concert will feature cover songs to celebrate the pop singer's iconic songs, including "Uptown Funk", "Grenade", "When I Was Your Man", and "Just the Way You Are". The music will be orchestrated and arranged by Joshua Stephen Kartes.

Bruno Mars, as a performer, writer and producer, has sold more than 130 million singles, making him one of the world's best selling artists. Five of his singles landed on the Billboard Hot 100 since 2010, faster than any other male singer since Elvis Presley. He has received two Grammy Awards and was named one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people in the world in 2011.

"Broadway Sings Bruno Mars", produced and directed by Corey Mach (Hands on a Hardbody, Wicked, Godspell), will celebrate the success and talent of this soulful, eclectic artist.
