"The Broadway community was so terribly shaken and devastated by the horrific tragedy in Orlando. Everyone wanted to do something as quickly as possible that would truly make a difference," says SiriusXM Radio Host Seth Rudetsky.

"On Monday, my husband James woke me up at 7:30 AM and suggested we rally our friends and colleagues to do a 'We Are the World' type recording and raise money for the victims and their families. We started making calls and suddenly we had tons of theater actors along with an orchestra and the services of a fully-staffed recording studio, all willing to donating their time and talent. Our community of artists has banded together as we always do to show we can end this cycle of violence and intolerance. Love WILL prevail!"

As posted on social media, Rudetsky is loving the new versions.
