In addition to our emphasis on delivering first rate sound on our recordings, we also believe strongly in the whole cast album experience including packing our cast album booklets with a plethora of photos from the show, lyrics and more.

 

Giving Back

Broadway Records also believes in leaving the world a better place than we found it.  This is the reason behind our work on albums such as "From Broadway With Love: A Benefit Concert For Sandy Hook" (with 100% of our profits going to the Newtown-Sandy Hook Community Foundation), A ROCKIN' Midsummer Night's Dream (with 100% of our profits going to the 12.14 Foundation), "An Evening With Norbert Leo Butz" (with 100% of our profits going to the Angel Band Project) and "Shapiro Sisters: Live Out Loud - Live at 54 BELOW" (with a portion of the proceeds going to "No Bully").

Broadway Records philanthropic endeavors also include the "Broadway For Orlando: What The World Needs Now is Love", "We Are The World" by Broadway United and "Broadway Kids Against Bullying: I Have a Voice" music videos and From Broadway With Love benefit concerts for Sandy Hook, Orlando (Emmy Award for Sound) and Parkland.

Broadway Records has partnered with the Black Theatre Coalition to create Black Writers Amplified, an album consisting entirely of new works by Black musical theatre writers, a project to immediately take steps toward significantly increased representation of Black writers in musical theatre. Black Writers Amplified will be released in 2021 and act as a resource for artistic directors, producers and other theatre creators to find and support new voices and emerging Black talent.
