Take a look at a music video featuring a powerful pairing of Ragtime's “Make Them Hear You” and John Bucchino's "Grateful,” which premiered at the November 2 Actors Fund Virtual Gala, above.
Jelani Alladin, Chuck Cooper, André De Shields, Brandon Victor Dixon, Joshua Henry, and Billy Porter sing Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty's “Make Them Hear You,” followed by the chorus of the Tony-winning Broadway Inspirational Voices, led by founder Michael McElroy and Norm Lewis, singing Bucchino's “Grateful."
“To those in need in performing arts and entertainment, we say, ‘There is a community that hears you, and is here for you,’” said Actors Fund Chairman Brian Stokes Mitchell. “Thank you to Michael, Jelani, Chuck, André, Brandon, Joshua, Norm, Billy, and the Broadway Inspirational Voices, for reminding us all of the power of justice, and the power of gratitude this holiday season.”
