We believe all children should experience the magic of Broadway. If they are unable due to illness, Broadway Hearts will bring the magic to them.

Broadway Hearts is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing professional Broadway performers, music, and joy to the extraordinary kids undergoing treatment at children’s hospitals across the nation.

What We Do

Broadway Hearts began in 2018 with the vision of bringing Broadway performances to children unable to visit theaters due to illness — but it has since grown into so much more.

Our in-person and virtual children’s hospital visits include ...

  • 30 minute Broadway Hearts Singalongs

  • 30 minute games of Broadway Hearts Bingo

  • Puppet shows

  • Specialty performers

  • Themed visits

  • Personal pick me up visits

  • Celebrity shout-out videos

  • Personal shoutout videos

  • Personal Music Videos

And we’re thrilled to offer our Broadway Hearts Backstage program — an initiative that provides a sponsored, custom curated, in-person Broadway experience to a medically cleared child and their family.

Our Values

Heart — is at the core of everything we do. Our volunteers are the heartbeat of our Foundation—their generosity of spirit and golden voices leave a lasting impact on children’s lives across the nation.

Enjoyment – Witnessing a child in treatment light up with joy, sing along to a favorite song, and smile is the greatest reward and one of reasons we look forward to every visit.

Awareness – As professional Broadway performers, we understand the profound ability of music to unite, uplift, and heal. We are deeply honored to share this gift with these truly inspirational children.

Reach – We are constantly seeking new ways to inspire and enrich the lives of the children we visit. Our goal is to expand our reach until Broadway Hearts is in every children’s hospital, worldwide.

Trust – The scientific evidence supporting music’s extraordinary power to heal is a key driving force behind this Foundation, guiding and inspiring everything we do.
