Cast members and musicians from the Tony Award winning Beautiful-The Carole King Musical have collaborated from their homes around the world to record a socially distanced version of “You’ve Got a Friend” to create awareness to raise funds for The Actors Fund.

Fresh off of the success of The Actors Fund’s partnership with Rosie O’Donnell that raised over $600,000, The Actors Fund is teaming up with ”Schitt’s Creek” star, award-winning actress and Screen Actors Guild® Nominee Emily Hampshire for a new weekly live-streamed talk-show HUMPDAY WITH HAMPSHIRE.

This special event, hosted by Rosie O’Donnell, produced by actor/producer Erich Bergen, and presented in partnership with Revelations Entertainment and Broadway.com, was directed by Paul Wontorek, and streamed LIVE on Broadway.com and their YouTube channel.

The online series will showcase exclusive videos of very special at-home performances from members of the Broadway community.

Funds raised will support entertainment industry workers at risk due to work cancellations in the effort to contain COVID-19.

“Broadway Jackbox,” produced by Jimmy Award® Winner Andrew Barth Feldman (Dear Evan Hansen) and actor and Tony Award® winning producer Alex Boniello (Spring Awakening, Dear Evan Hansen) will continue to air on Tuesdays and Fridays at 6:00PM EST, raising money for The Actors Fund.
