As part of the annual event that features gender-reversed versions of musical theatre numbers, Bryan Terrell Clark (Hamilton, Motown the Musical) and Michael McElroy (Sunday in the Park with George, The Who's Tommy) took on "What About Love," from The Color Purple. This emotional first-act finale is typically sung by the characters of Celie and Shug Avery.
