Tons of familiar Broadway faces took the stage for a performance at the 2016 Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night (July 27) in Philadelphia, Penn.

The star-studded line-up included Idina Menzel, Audra McDonald, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Darren Criss, Debra Messing, Kristen Bell, Tyne Daly, and Rosie Perez as they took turns singing parts of “What the World Needs Now Is Love” by Jackie DeShannon.

“Just finished singing w/my beautiful friend @idinamenzel – and a slew of others from the broadway community-at the #dnc ! We sang ‘what the world needs now’ and – SPOILER ALERT- its LOVE!!! This arena is on fire w/kindness and I’m honored to be here. I love my country. #lovetrumpshate,” Kristen later wrote on Instagram.

Watch the performance below!

Audra McDonald is a fab flapper while performing on stage at the 2016 Tony Awards held at the Beacon Theatre on Sunday (June 12) in New York City.

The legendary Broadway actress was joined in the performance by her co-stars Brian Stokes Mitchell, Joshua Henry, Billy Parter, and nominees Brandon Victor Dixon and Adrienne Warren.

Brandon was nominated for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical and Adrienne was nominated for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical, but they both lost out to the stars of Hamilton.

Shuffle Along is nominated for a total of ten awards tonight, including Best Musical.

Audra McDonald holds a large bouquet of flowers while making her opening night bow for her Broadway musical Shuffle Along on Thursday night (April 28) a the Music Box Theatre in New York City.

The theater legend, who has won Tony Awards in every possible acting category, was joined on stage by her co-stars Brian Stokes Mitchell, Billy Porter, Joshua Henry, and Brandon Victor Dixon, among others.

Audra is of course getting raves for her work.

“It goes without saying at this point that there’s nothing the superhuman McDonald can’t do onstage, but rarely do we get to see her cut loose in exuberant comedic mode to the extent she does here,” The Hollywood Reporter said. “Even beyond her numbers, McDonald kills it with her timing – every word, look or gesture smacks its target.”

Jennifer Hudson and Neil Patrick Harris are ready for a night of music at the Smith Center for the Performing Arts Opening Celebration on Saturday night (March 10) in Las Vegas.

The 38-year-old actor hosted the event, while Jennifer, in a Ralph & Russo couture dress and H Stern jewels, took the stage as the closing act of the evening, singing “Take Care of This House”.

Also hitting up the celebration were Cheyenne Jackson, who sang a duet on stage with Broadway’s Laura Osnes, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter star Benjamin Walker, and recent Glee guest star Brian Stokes Mitchell.
