Playbill has already posted the accompanying music video as well. It was nice hearing the song first, trying to guess who sang what line, and then seeing who did in the video. Even though it's under horiffic circumstances, this song is for such a great cause. To see all that talent collect in one room (or remotely) for one common goal, putting money and ego aside, is truly touching. My thoughts continue to be with the victims and families in Orlando.

I loved Alice wearing her sunglasses.



It's a great video.

Or instead of criticizing the use of song, we could maybe all, oh I don't know, be appreciative that the talented people in our community got together to do this and show their support for the tragedy that occurred last week.

I can't find it on iTunes, either.

Broadway Records always takes an extra few days to get their stuff on iTunes. I really wish someone would teach them how because it's super frustrating.

IdinaBell, if you purchase it on your computer you can then put it on iTunes (if you have an iPhone). If you don't have one I think android lets you download files directly to your phone.

I agree with the common sentiment here... excellent cause, excellent dedication and execution, excellent sentiment, but a new song would have been better. Or even just a less trite song. Maybe a "Broadway Sings for Change" compilation of protest songs would be welcome- I'd love to hear John Cameron Mitchell take on Elvis Costello's "What's So Funny 'Bout Peace, Love and Understanding."

Idina and Billy, in particular, sound lovely. Such a sad reason to get these talented people in a room, but to have been a fly on the wall.

Thank you!!

Just lovely. I have been at a loss for words since that Sunday and this has helped a little piece of me aheal.

And Alice Ripley taking the Stevie Wonder role in those glasses made me lol through my tears.

Being critical of the song choice is... sort of missing the point here.
