Broadway Backwards is 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.

Broadway Backwards creator Robert Bartley will again direct and choreograph 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.
