STAGE TUBE: Broadway Sings for Pride and TA-DA! Youth Theater Sing 'It Gets Better'

On Saturday, May 19, 2012 Broadway Sings for Pride (www.BwayPride.org) in conjunction with the TADA! Youth Theater joined over twenty-five Broadway, Off Broadway, and National Tour performers to remind everyone "it gets better." The song, which included TADA!'s Resident Youth Ensemble, was done to promote equality and stop bullying. "It Gets Better" was written in 2010 by composers, Jay Kuo & Blair Shepard after a string of LGBT suicides across the country. This song will be featured in Broadway Sings for Pride's Second Annual Gay Pride Concert on Monday, June 25, 2012 in Manhattan. For tickets and information, click here.
