Broadway Cares launches a new annual concert event, Broadway Dream Roles, April 28 at 7 PM at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre (the current home of Moulin Rouge! The Musical).

The evening features a mix of Broadway favorites and rising stars stepping into roles they have longed to play, but never had the opportunity to. Each performance has a story attached, whether it's a role the artist narrowly missed, a wish never voiced aloud, or more.

Tony winner Kara Young, who recently returned to Broadway in Purpose, hosts the evening.

Taking part in the one-night-only event are Erich Bergen, currently co-starring in BOOP! The Musical; Emmy winner and Tony nominee Liz Callaway; Olivier winner Tom Francis, currently making his Broadway debut in Sunset Blvd.; Grammy and Tony winner Jennifer Holliday, who originated the role of Effie in Dreamgirls; Olivier winner Lesli Margherita, currently playing Tessie Tura in the revival of Gypsy; Jimin Moon, who understudies the role of Joe Gillis in Sunset; Zachary Noah Piser, who can currently be seen in Redwood; Jasmine Amy Rogers, who stars in the title role of Boop!; The Broadway Boys; two-time Tony winner Andrea Martin; Operation Mincemeat cast members David Cumming, Claire-Marie Hall, Natasha Hodgson, Jak Malone, and Zoë Roberts; and 2024 Jimmy Award winner Damson Chola Jr.

Broadway Cares is one of the nation’s leading industry-based, nonprofit AIDS fundraising and grant-making organizations. By drawing upon the talents, resources, and generosity of the American theatre community, since 1988 Broadway Cares has awarded more than $300 million for essential services for people with HIV/AIDS and other critical illnesses across the United States.

Other annual Broadway Cares events include Red Bucket Follies, Broadway Backwards, Broadway Bares, the Broadway Flea Market & Grand Auction, and more.
