Broadway Inspirational Voices (BIV) is a diverse community of Broadway artists united to change lives through the power of music and service.
In 1994, more than 32,000 people died from AIDS or AIDS-related complications in the U.S. Many of those deaths came from within the Broadway community. As Broadway grappled with the loss of an entire generation of artists, Tony and Grammy-nominated Michael McElroy (founder of the Broadway Inspirational Voices) envisioned an organization where professional artists would come together and volunteer their gifts to provide comfort, joy, and the promise of a better day. In 2019, The Tony Awards Administration Committee presented the Tony Honors for Excellence in the Theatre to four outstanding contributors to the Broadway industry, and Broadway Inspirational Voices was a recipient. BIV's diverse membership has represented over 140 Broadway shows since its inception. In 2009, BIV became a 501(c)3 and answered the call to serve the community through Outreach and Arts & Education Programs. Current partnerships include Ronald McDonald House–NY, Covenant House International, Riker's Island, LaGuardia High School, and more.
