Tituss Burgess performs moving rendition of 'Somewhere' for Orlando victims
On Monday, thousands of people crowded outside the Stonewall bar in New York City to remember the victims of the Orlando mass shooting. In attendance was Tituss Burgess, star of the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and a celebrated Broadway singer.
Burgess, who identifies as gay, chose to honor the victims by performing a moving rendition of "Somewhere." Standing at a podium before the sign "We are Orlando," Burgess' words seemed uniquely appropriate for the situation.
"We'll find a new way of living. We'll find a way of forgiving. Somewhere, there's a place for us," he sang.
