rnrnrnLast night was something like spectacular. Two of our favorite Broadway stars gave us a performance of a lifetime. Cynthia Erivo & Joshua Henry performed a concert version of one of every Broadway fans favorites, The Last 5 Years. We were privileged to be in attendance last night and will have more on the entire experience shortly but until we can find the words here is a taste of two numbers from last night’s show. The score is just so beautiful and to have it sung by two of Broadway Black’s extraordinary talents is, quite simply, a dream come true.rnrnThe performance was a benefit concert for The Brady Center , which is an organization committed to cutting gun-related homicide in half by 2025. This is a cause the show’s composer and director, Jason Robert Brown, is passionate about.rn

Watch the musical numbers “Still Hurting” and “Moving Too Fast” perfomed by Erivo & Henry below. Comment & tell us what you think!

Drew Shade is a visionary creative force at the intersection of Black theatre, media, and culture. As the Founder and Creative Director of Broadway Black, Off-Book: The Podcast, and The Antonyo Awards, he champions artistic excellence and amplifies the voices of Black theatre artists with intention, heart, and unapologetic pride. His work has been featured in The New York Times, Playbill, Deadline, The Observer, and Apple TV’s Dear…, and he's collaborated with brands and institutions such as NBC, BET, Audible, Universal Pictures, SheaMoisture, The Public Theater, Signature Theatre, National Black Theatre, and more. He has also served as a cultural consultant and curator for countless Broadway productions for over a decade — establishing himself as a trusted voice and tastemaker in theatre and media. In addition to his work behind the scenes, Shade is a performer and creative artist in his own right, with credits including Classical Theatre of Harlem’s The First Noel at The Apollo, The Preacher’s Wife musical at The Alliance Theatre, and a Sondheim tribute concert at Carnegie Hall led by Tituss Burgess. He’s also lent his voice to campaigns for Google and continues to explore visual storytelling through photography — from red carpets to press coverage. Rooted in joy, justice, and the belief that Black theatre is both legacy and revolution, Shade continues to build platforms and shine light where it’s long been overdue — so Black artists are seen, heard, and celebrated on their own terms. “Have a belief in yourself that is bigger than anyone’s disbelief.” – August Wilson
