Tituss Burgess "And I Am Telling You..." - Broadway Backwards 2013

Broadway Backwards 2013 included a roof-raising rendition of "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going," performed by Tituss Burgess. To set up this iconic song, made famous onstage by Jennifer Holiday and on film by Jennifer Hudson, Burgess was joined by Jamie Cepero, Steven Cutts, Miles Johnson, Rashad Naylor, Brandon Pearson and Dennis Stowe as Lorelle, James Thunder Earley, Curtis, Michelle, CC and Deena, respectively.

Broadway Backwards, the once-a-year celebration of the LGBT community, brought down the house March 18, 2013, while raising a record-setting $347,060 to benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center.

Broadway Backwards creator Robert Bartley wrote and directed this year’s show. The evening’s creative team included music supervisor Mary-Mitchell Campbell, music director by Tim Rosser, co-choreographer Amy Jones, additional music directors Laura Berquist, Mat Eisenstein, Brad Haak and James Sampliner, lighting designer Paul Miller, costume designer Ryan Moller and sound designer Lucas Indelicato. The production stage manager was Matthew DiCarlo.
