- Jinx! Jinx again! At this year's #BroadwayBackwards, Back to the Future's Casey Likes and Jelani Remy shared an uproarious rapport in a duet of “Love is an Open Door” from Frozen, imbuing enthusiasm and flirtatiousness into every sentence said simultaneously.
Broadway Backwards was directed, written and choregraphed by Robert Bartley, Backwards' creator.
A brilliant string of 11-o’clock numbers, standing ovations and LGBTQ+ joy reverberated through the historic walls at Broadway's New Amsterdam Theatre on March 11, 2024, when Tony Award winners, Broadway legends and newcomers alike spectacularly shared LGBTQ+ stories through show tunes at Broadway Backwards.
The show raised a record $917,651 to benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center (The Center) in New York City. The one-night-only, annual event is produced by Broadway Cares.
The elevated evening of love, community and unparalleled performances is the only annual Broadway event custom-made for the LGBTQ+ community and its allies. By taking familiar songs in the Broadway canon and transforming them into queer anthems, lighthearted romps and emotional ballads, Broadway Backwards tells stories that deserve to be told onstage.

Don’t be shy post Stupid With Love. I’m dying to see the original Aaron sing Cady’s song.
I did not see the Jinxx Monsoon joke coming, but I LOVE it. 😂
YEEESSS MY FAVORITE PART LOL
??? IDGI Please clue me in?
Jinkx Monsoon is a drag queen who won Rupaul's drag race twice, she's been on broadway playing mama morton in chicago last year. It is just funny they said her name because almost every gay person knows who she is, so it is a good reference you know?@@tallguym4m
jinkx moonson is a drag queen very well known, she won Rupaul's drag race twice and she was mama morton in chicago. It is just a very good gay reference you know@@tallguym4m
@@tallguym4m the original line is "Jinx! Jinx again!" and Jinkx Monsoon is the name of a drag queen.
Im still cracking up with the, "or the chocolate" line delivery😂😂😂😂

It's the fifth time I watch this video
cute...but intonation is important too
More Jack Wolfe, please.
The Jynkx Monsoon joke was funny and unexpected! They seemed out of harmony several times. It was nice tho.
JINX MONSOON
what is this called 👉🏽🚪
I am not familiar with Casey, so maybe he was having an off night. He was flat during much of the song. Their voices dud not meld well together. But it was a cute performance.
he is AMAZING in back to the future, this was def an off night
To be fair, the broadway version of Love is an Open Door has never been fantastic for having the characters sound the best together (going based mostly on the cast recording). No hate to the actors in the OBC or this performance, but I think it might be a problem of the arrangement of the song (since the movie version sounds pretty good) and not solely with the performers.
Future costume designers are going to have to sew Casey’s pockets closed, unless he was intentionally paying homage to his McFly character.. love this performance.
Wow, that did not work at all. 🤦♂️
That’s the point
@@Knottyp1ne i’ve been watching Broadway backwards for decades, and that’s usually not the point…
@@PaulHorneLA well good thing this is for charity and all in good fun. anyways, donate to broadway cares!
Weirdest duo and song
how are them singing together a weird duo?
