Calling their collaboration Broadway for Orlando in honor of those slain in Sunday’s terrorist attack on a night club in the central Florida city, stars of the Great White Way are joining voices to record a cover of “What The World Needs Now Is Love.”

Proceeds from sales of the single will benefit the LGBT Center of Central Florida, People magazine reported Wednesday.

The list of performers is a who’s who of Broadway, including “Hamilton” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, “The Producers” stars Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick, and “If/Then” star Idina Menzel, best known to many parents of young girls as the voice for Elsa in the 2013 animated hit “Frozen.”

Sara Bareilles, Carole King and Gloria Estefan are among recording artists joining the effort.
