Josh Young performs "Bring On The Men" from Jekyll & Hyde
The 2013 edition of Broadway Backwards featured Tony nominee Josh Young, surrounded by a dozen hunky Broadway dancers, tapped the powers of Jekyll & Hyde to "Bring on the Men," in a steamy and seductive performance.

Broadway Backwards, the only annual Broadway event uniquely created for the gay and lesbian community, our friends and families, supports Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center of New York. Each year, the show features a star-studded cast and live orchestra performing the great songs of musical theatre with a twist: women sing songs originally written for men and men sing songs written for women.
Broadway Backwards creator Robert Bartley wrote and directed this year’s show. The evening’s creative team included music supervisor Mary-Mitchell Campbell, music director by Tim Rosser, co-choreographer Amy Jones, additional music directors Laura Berquist, Mat Eisenstein, Brad Haak and James Sampliner, lighting designer Paul Miller, costume designer Ryan Moller and sound designer Lucas Indelicato. The production stage manager was Matthew DiCarlo.
