We believe all children should experience the magic of a Broadway show. If they are unable, due to illness, Broadway Hearts will bring the magic to them.
Broadway Hearts is a not-for-profit organization bringing professional Broadway performers, music and joy to the extraordinary kids in treatment at children’s hospitals nationwide.
What We Do
Broadway Hearts began in 2018, with the idea of bringing Broadway performances to children unable to travel to theaters, due to illness, but it has become so much more.
Our visits include, in-person or live-streamed ...
30 minute Broadway Hearts Singalongs
30 minute games of Broadway Hearts Bingo!
Puppet shows
Specialty performers
Themed visits
One-on-one ‘Star’ visits (if a child needs a little extra pick me up)
Personal shoutout videos
Personal Music Videos
And we’re thrilled to introduce Broadway Hearts Backstage, a program which allows an all expenses paid, in person, Broadway experience to a medically cleared child and their family.

Enjoyment - Seeing a child in treatment light up with joy when they hear a favorite song, start to singalong and smile, is the foremost reason we look forward to each visit.

Reach - We are always looking for new ways to inspire and enhance the lives of the children we visit and we hope to continue expanding our reach until we are on every child’s screen, in every hospital, worldwide.
Trust – The scientific evidence behind music’s extraordinary power to help heal, is a major driving force in this Foundation.
