Well, they did it - it was a cram packed two hours of fun:
Liz Callaway- Pretty Women (Sweeney Todd)- crystal clear soprano!
Kerry Butler- When I'm Not Near the Girl I Love (Finnian's Rainbow)
Charles Busch- The Music That Makes Me Dance (Funny Girl)
Jen Colella and Michelle Blakely - Hello Little Girl (Into the Woods) - a very funny set up in a lesbian bar - a scary song that sounded so sexy!
Julie Halston, Ann Harada, and two other women- Everybody Ought to Have a Maid (A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum)- complete with choreography
David Burtka and Neil Patrick Harris - Take Me or Leave Me (Rent) - melisma all over the place
Karen Mason- I Loved You Once in Silence/How to Handle a Woman (Camelot)
Gary Beach- 50 Percent (Ballroom)- he sang the hell out of this number! Definitely the highlight of the evening for me!
Aaron Lazar and Tony Yazbeck- A boy Like That/I Have a Love (West Side Story) (Aaron was Anita, Tony was Maria) - BEAUTIFUL!
Sierra Bogess- Kiss the Girl (The Little Mermaid) (Jessica Lee Goldyn played the girl she kissed) - this girl is FUNNY!
Girls of Spring Awakening- Bitch of Living (Lilli Cooper as Moritz and Remy Zaken as Melchior) (ouch - my ears)
TASTiSKANK- a song about they might just be "lesbos"
Malcom Gets- Dancing on the Ceiling (Evergreen) (Tony Yazbeck was his dance partner)
Jose Llana, Brooks Ashmanskas, and Gavin Creel- I Want it All (Baby) - This was INCREDIBLE! I loved that Liz Callaway was in the house for this.
Len Cariou- Send in the Clowns (A Little Night Music) - lovely
Ensemble men- I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair (South Pacific)
Lainie Kazan- The "Gal" That Got Away (A Star is Born) - she still belts a high C
Andrea McArdle and Ensemble women- All I Care About Is Love (Chicago)
Titus Burgess- Maybe This Time (Cabaret) - 3rd best, definitely and what a smile he has
Anthony Rapp, Cheyenne Jackson, and Ensemble- Suddenly Seymour (Little Shop of Horrors)
I shook Len Cariou's hand. I'm happy.

Ok, at first I wasn't sure why it was called Broadway Backwards, but now I think I understand.
Thanks for sharing all these adventures I can't get to myself!
