NEW YORK (AP) - A clutch of live performances by Tony- and Grammy Award-nominated artists - including Micky Dolenz, Paul Williams, Michael Cerveris and LaChanze - have been collected into a benefit album for arts education.

'œRockers On Broadway: Live'ť features Alex Brightman and Cervaris belting out 'œUnder Pressure,'ť Dolenz of The Monkees singing 'œI'm a Believer,'ť LaChanze doing 'œPurple Rain,'ť Alice Ripley singing "Hallelujah," Constantine Maroulis singing "No Rain" and Williams performing his signature 'œThe Rainbow Connection.'ť

Others songs on the album include 'œWhat About Us'ť by Isabelle Gottfried, 'œDecember 1963 (Oh What a Night)'ť by Christian Hoff and Donnie Kehr, 'œDream a Little Dream'ť by Emma Hunton, 'œThe Show Must Go On'ť by Morgan James, 'œSpace Captain'ť by Michael Lanning and 'œThugz Mansion/A Change Is Gonna Come'ť by Donald Webber.

The album is a selection of live performances from Rockers On Broadway concerts over the past 28 years. Proceeds will support ongoing initiatives for The PATH Fund, dedicated to supporting arts education with scholarship and program funding.

'œOut of an abundance of caution and to allow the Broadway community the necessary time to focus on performing their shows safely, we have held off on our annual live concert, but rest assured, we are still going to bring you the rock,'ť said Rockers creator Donnie Kehr and Executive Producer Cori Gardner in a joint statement.
