This week's Broadway for Biden Monday night phone banking was hosted by celebrated playwright Matthew López, who brought along about a dozen cast members from his award-winning play THE INHERITANCE, including Tony Goldwyn and Lois Smith. The company led a group of more than 100 callers, making nearly 2,000 calls.

López also introduced surprise guest star Tony-winning Hairspray composer Marc Shaiman, who brought down the house at the end of the event with an impromptu performance of Hairspray's iconic finale "You Can't Stop the Beat." Shaiman reworked the lyric to fit the moment.

López's second event with Broadway for Biden is a Town Hall on LGBTQIA+ issues streaming for free at BPN.FM/B4B this Saturday at 2pm EST.

YOU CAN'T STOP MY HAPPINESS

BUT IT'S TRUE I'M SICK AND TIRED

SO IT'S TIME TO TELL THE ORANGE BEAST

THAT HIS TERM HAS NOW EXPIRED

SO CAST A VOTE FOR BIDEN/HARRIS

AND TELL Donald Trump "YOU'RE FIRED"

CAUSE THE WORLD KEEPS SPINNING 'ROUND AND 'ROUND

AND MY HEART'S KEEPING TIME TO THE SPEED OF SOUND

I'VE BEEN LOST FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS

BUT I'VE FOUND MY WAY

CAUSE YOU CAN'T STOP THE BEAT!

IF WE WANNA ALL SEE THE LIGHT

WE NEED TO WIN IT WITH A LANDSIDE ON ELECTION NIGHT

AND SO I'M GONNA CALL THE VOTERS OUT

WITH ALL OF MY MIGHT TODAY

CAUSE YOU CAN'T STOP

THE MOTION OF THE OCEAN OR THE RAIN FROM ABOVE

YOU CAN TRY TO STOP THE PARADISE WE'RE DREAMING OF

BUT YOU CANNOT STOP THE RHYTHM

OF OUR HEARTS IN LOVE TO STAY

CAUSE YOU CAN'T STOP THE BEAT!

YOU CAN'T STOP THE BEAT!

YOU CAN'T STOP THE BEAT!
