Kerry Butler, Julie Halston, Ann Harada, Aaron Lazar, and Anthony Rapp have been added to the performing lineup of Broadway Backwards 3, to be held at the American Airlines Theatre on Monday, February 4. Seth Rudetsky will host the evening.

This gender-bending concert will feature a diverse cast of male singers performing songs traditionally performed by female singers, and vice versa, with all proceeds benefiting the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender (LGBT) Community Center in New York City.

As previously announced, the concert will feature Brooks Ashmanskas, Sierra Boggess, Len Cariou, Sandy Duncan, Jose Llana, Gary Beach, Tituss Burgess, David Burtka, Charles Busch, Nancy Dussault, Malcolm Gets, Neil Patrick Harris, Cheyenne Jackson, Tastiskank (Kate Reinders and Sarah Litzsinger), Jenn Colella, Liz Callaway, Lainie Kazan, Julia Murney, Karen Mason, Michele Blakeley and Tony Yazbeck.

The show is created and directed by Robert Bartley, with musical direction by Mark Janas. John Kander and Terrence McNally will serve as event co-chairs. The program will be followed by an after-party at the theater, open to major donors.
