We're going to have these performances on repeat! Last night's virtual concert event, A Night of Covenant House Stars, featured more than 50 incredible stars uniting in support of Covenant House, the international charity providing housing, food and healthcare to children and youth facing homelessness, and the front-line staff working to keep them safe, during the COVID-19 crisis. The evening was hosted by six-time Tony Award winner Audra McDonald and 60 Minutes correspondent John Dickerson, both members of the Covenant House Board of Directors. McDonald, Jeremy Jordan, Laura Osnes, Bobby Conte Thornton, West Side Story leading lady Shereen Pimentel, the original cast of BKLYN and the Broadway Inspirational Voices were among the many talents to raise their voices in song. From McDonald's moving rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" to the Broadway Inspirational Voices' powerful take on the Dear Evan Hansen number "For Forever," enjoy the clips below!
