Broadway Hearts grew out of a hope to make a difference in a child’s life, through music, song and laughter. I feel very fortunate to have these wonderful friends by my side, bringing this hope into reality. The children that we visit are exceptional at being present, staying right in the moment they are in, and savoring it all. It is a wonderful lesson to learn and relearn with each visit.

Outreach has always been an important part of my life, but it became very personal in 2009, when I learned I was positive for the BRCA genetic mutation, which predisposes me to a myriad of cancers, including pancreatic, ovarian and breast cancers. It started me on a fast and furious quest for knowledge, which quickly turned into a passion to help others navigate their way through the, oftentimes exceptionally challenging, BRCA world, to advocate for quality of life for both survivors and previvors, and to help raise funds for genetic cancer research. I’m currently involved with organizations including FORCE, Bright Pink, Discovery To Cure, Imerman Angels and The Basser Center. These organizations are available to anyone at anytime, please reach out if you are in need.

My stars in my eyes goal for Broadway Hearts, is that we be a household name that is synonymous with joy and healing. For our programming to be within reach of every beautiful kid in every children’s hospital in the world. I’m hard at work trying to make this a reality!

Broadway Hearts is dedicated to my father Peter Radetsky, I don’t know how I ever got so fortunate to be your daughter. I am forever grateful.

Currently performing in The Phantom of the Opera, on Broadway.
