Chaz was asked to choreograph the Opening Number for the
2018 edition of
Broadway Backwards
which is a gender-bending show benefitting The LGBTQ Center and
Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
Chaz's piece - "A Wild, Wild Party" starred Christian Dante White (Hello, Dolly) and Shawna Hamic (The Last Ship) and featured Phoenix Goodman and a fabulous cast of Broadway dancers! It sought to promote the ideas of inclusion and acceptance in the face of hate and bigotry. The show raised a record-smashing $680,273 for The Center & BCEFA!
Special thanks to Robert Bartley, Danny Whitman, Scott Stevens, Jeff Brancato, Abigail Gatlin, Laura Bergquist, Vanessa Leuck, Matt Berman, Jake DeGroot, Christopher D. Littlefield, Mary-Mitchell Campbell, Jason Kooistra and Matt Aument! And of course to the beautiful BCEFA team - Tom Viola, Valerie Lau-Kee Lai, Lane Beauchamp and Mo Brady!
