‘One of the greatest joys of being part of a Broadway show is knowing the heart-soaring escape it provides to our audience members during the time they spend in our darkened theater. Occasionally, we have Make-A-Wish children come to see the show, and these performances have always been a personal highlight for me. I looked forward to staying after the show to meet the child and their family. However, after too many instances where a child had to cancel their visit, I was inspired to create a way to bring Broadway performers directly to children in treatment.

After gathering a few like-minded performers from The Phantom of the Opera and other Broadway shows, I began reaching out to hospitals in the area, asking if we could come in and sing with the children. And thus, Broadway Hearts was born.

In 2019 we became a 501(c)(3), growing from just seven volunteers to over a hundred, and representing nearly every show on Broadway. We’ve expanded from visiting one hospital in NYC to visiting over thirty hospitals nationwide and are ever expanding our reach and our programming.

Broadway Hearts was born from a desire to make a meaningful difference in a child’s life, through the healing power of music, song and laughter. It's become a deep passion in my own life and I feel very fortunate to be seeing this mission forward with wonderful friends and colleagues by my side.

Broadway Hearts is dedicated to my incredible father, Peter Radetsky.’
