About Black to Broadway

The goal of Black to Broadway is to inspire deeper engagement with, awareness of, and access to Broadway for all Black people. Created by The Broadway League in 2019, and originally called Let’s Do Broadway, this initiative is an industry-wide celebration of the Black community on Broadway—on stage, in the audience, behind the scenes, and as leaders in the Broadway community.

Black to Broadway is sponsored by United Airlines, who is dedicated to promoting awareness, deepening engagement, and creating access to Broadway.
