Broadway Pride Playlist

For many of us, Pride weekend is a chance to celebrate and remember the hurdles the LBGTQ+ community has overcome and to continue to rally against the obstacles still in our way. It’s also a chance just to be, to embrace our authentic selves and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with other minorities who have been marginalized. As we hold our heads up high in support of Black Lives Matter, Pride feels especially precious this year. Due to Covid-19, however, Pride won’t be the same parades and parties that have become a tradition of the month of June. That’s okay... this year will still be a time for reflection, and our hearts still beat with a sense of the journey that got us here and the miles left to go. I’ve put together a playlist for Pride that is composed of Broadway songs sung by LGBTQ+ characters, as well as a handful of Broadway songs that, though they weren’t directly addressing the issues of the LBBTQ+ community, carry in them the heart and spirit of Pride. I hope you are moved, and more importantly, inspired by these wonderful songs.
