After a sold-out stint at The Cutting Room, the BROADWAY SINGS concert series will reprise their latest installment, Broadway Sings Bruno Mars, at the Highline Ballroom on July 20th at 8pm. Some of Broadway's current, brightest talents will again sing completely new arrangements of the hits of funk superstar Bruno Mars, accompanied by a full band playing brand new, original orchestrations of the singer's greatest songs. Previous shows in the series included Adele, Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Stevie Wonder, Amy Winehouse, Justin Timberlake, and P!NK.

Performers include Tony Winner Lena Hall (Hedwig, Kinky Boots), Nick Rashad Burroughs (Kinky Boots), Gerard Canonico (American Idiot, Spring Awakening), Max Chernin (Brooklynite), Corey Cott (Gigi, Newsies), John Arthur Greene (Matilda the Musical, West Side Story), Alison Luff (Matilda the Musical, Mamma Mia!), Corey Mach (Hands on a Hardbody, Godspell), Abby Mueller (Kinky Boots), Gabrielle Reid (Beautiful, Hairspray), Joey Taranto (Kinky Boots, Rock of Ages), Marisha Wallace (Aladdin, Something Rotten), Michael Wartella (Wicked), Alan Wiggins (Beautiful, The Lion King), and Devon Lavinia Yates. Additional performers will be announced at a later date.

The concert will feature cover songs to celebrate the pop singer's iconic songs, including "Uptown Funk", "Grenade", "When I Was Your Man", and "Just the Way You Are". The music will be orchestrated and arranged by Joshua Stephen Kartes.

Bruno Mars, as a performer, writer and producer, has sold more than 130 million singles, making him one of the world's best selling artists. Five of his singles landed on the Billboard Hot 100 since 2010, faster than any other male singer since Elvis Presley. He has received two Grammy Awards and was named one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people in the world in 2011.

"Broadway Sings Bruno Mars", produced and directed by Corey Mach (Hands on a Hardbody, Wicked, Godspell), will celebrate the success and talent of this soulful, eclectic artist. More information about can be found on the series' website: www.BroadwaySingsConcert.com
