Telecast Marks First Performance by Broadway All-Stars Outside of Recording Studio of Updated Burt Bacharach/Hal David Single With All Profits to Benefit LGBT Community in Orlando

NEW YORK - June 20, 2016 - Broadway's top musical artists are set to appear on NBC's Tuesday, June 21 telecast of "Maya & Marty" to perform "What the World Needs Now Is Love," an updated version of the classic Burt Bacharach/Hal David song that is helping to support the devastated LGBT community of Orlando, Fla.

Soon after the Orlando shooting, approximately 60 of Broadway's top stars - as well as those currently in Los Angeles and Miami - contributed their talents to record what is being titled the "Broadway for Orlando" initiative. The song and accompanying video is currently sold on BroadwayRecords.com and will be available on iTunes with all proceeds going to the LGBT Center of Central Florida.
