Broadway stars came out to the Al Hirschfeld Theatre (home of Broadway's Kinky Boots) last night to sing for the second annual Voices for the Voiceless: Stars for Foster Kids event, presented by Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley. The event serves to raise awareness about the plight of children in foster care — particularly those between the ages of 13 and 21, whom many consider "unadoptable" because of their age.
