Broadway’s most notable response to the Orlando tragedy was the recording of “What the World Needs Now Is Love” – spearheaded by the indomitable Seth Rudetsky and his husband, producer James Wesley.  The morning after the shooting, James happened to hear the song and thought it would be a great vehicle.  He called Seth, and they made a dream list and immediately got on the phone.  Being not only well-connected but also well-liked, the duo got virtually every star on Broadway on board (with some notable exceptions that need not be mentioned).  What hasn’t gotten much press are the people who stepped up behind the scenes to make this happen – including Kathie Lee Gifford and attorney to the stars, Mark Sendroff.  Everyone was in the studio 48 hours later and within a week of the tragedy, the song sung by Broadway for Orlando was released and hit number one on the iTunes Top Songs chart.  Proceeds from the track will benefit the GLBT Community Center of Central Florida.
