International pop sensation and star of the upcoming Broadway production of Natasha, Pierre, & the Great Comet of 1812, Josh Groban, is the latest to join in Stagedoor Manor's #BroadwayForOrlando challenge, a viral campaign to raise funds and awareness for the victims and families of the shooting at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando. The videos feature singers who have accepted the challenge singing the opening bars of Burt Bacharach's, "What the World Needs Now" the song covered by the Broadway For Orlando organization to raise funds following the largest mass shooting in our nation's history.

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 filmed their own video of the 1965 Burt Bacharach and Hal David hit.

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 athttp://apple.co/29hRFUg."
