The concert featured a host of stars from Broadway, screen and music as well as prominent political leaders, progressive and LGBT activists.
The show was directed by Sara Louise Lazarus, who directed the successful "Broadway for Obama" concert. Producing the benefit was Kati Meister and Scott Denny, both producers of the Theatre World Awards. Lawrence Yurman ("Grey Gardens) served as musical director.
Stage and screen favorite Jim Dale served as host for the starry gala.
