Broadway stars at DNC

Does anyone have a list of the Broadway stars in the rather awkward "What the World Needs Now Is Love performance at the Democratic Convention?

It was good to see all the folks together, but I don't know why they couldn't have just sung together rather than passing the mic around with each performer seemingly trying to one-up the other.    Too many stars and egos.

 

fun to see everyone on stage-they could have used a conductor for sure!

a few i recognized

Idina menzel

stephanie block

ben vereen

audra mcdonald

brian stokes mitchell

Tyne Daley and sharon gless

Rosie perez (singing in her own self determined key)

liz and ann callaway

darren criss

 

 

I loved this so much! The cheer for Audra was great. There were a ton of faces I knew but not names... I remember when the original video for the song was released, someone did a line-by-line breakdown of who was who; that was super helpful. Mystery poster, please help us again! :)

I appreciate what they were doing, but that performance was lacking a whole lot of love.

First thing I noticed, idina and Stephanie being on the opposite side of the line.

i thought it was cute. I loved Carmen and Stephanie standing next to eachother.

Love when entertainers try to get political.

Adrienne Warren was there.  She sung before and passed the mic to Cagney & Lacey.  

Rosie Perez was somewhat of a surprise.  

It was a good idea but it went off the rails somewhere in the middle.

Filling in a few of the blanks! 

The first skip is Maryann Hu. Not sure the next 3. After Tyne Daly is Sharon Gless. Skipping again, but the two before Anika Larsen are Wilson Cruz and Paul Castree. After Len, I'm skipping 2, so then the order is Roz Ryan, Michael Longoria, Olga Merediz, Montego. 

I could be wrong, but Liz Callaway mentioned on Twitter that her son was in the performance, and I think that might be him between Montego and Alice.

hopefully that helped and I'm sorry if I'm wrong at all ??

....because he's Seth Rudetsky's husband

Rosie Perez knows she's not a singer. She has participated in multiple of these because she's got more compassion and humility in her pinky than most people have in their entire body. She turned a life of abuse, neglect and anguish into a life of action. She's not just an actress, she's an activist. The fact that she's a little tone deaf but still willing to go out there and sing on that stage proves that she is anything but poor. It's not how she sounded that matters, it's the volume that does. And Rosie has been spreading love loud and proud for many years.

Instead of mocking her, people should be grateful that she uses her platform to spread love, awareness and compassion. 

What an embarrassing performance... 

A number of recognizable stage stars appeared in the acapella video of "Fight Song"- Ellen Greene, Billy Porter, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Idina Menzel, Kristin Chenoweth, and probably more.

Someone who's better with names can hopefully fill in the blanks."

Thank you both! This is great.
