The It Gets Better Project Presents A Holiday Concert Titled A Better Holiday Concert Featuring Broadway Performers With Proceeds Benefiting The Ali Forney Center
"It Gets Better Project" Presents Holiday Concert Featuring Broadway Performers
You may think you've been to the best holiday concert of the season already, but the It Gets Better Project promises "A Better Holiday Concert" tonight from 7 to 10pm at XL Nightclub, located at 512 West 42nd Street.
Hosted by The Haus of Mimosa comedy duo, the event will feature a number of Broadway and Off-Broadway performers, including Santino Fontana (soon to be the Prince in Broadway's Cinderella), Andrew Keenan-Bolger (Newsies), Max von Essen (Evita), Donna Vivino, Condola Rashad, and Randy Harrison.
Proceeds Will Go To The Ali Forney Center
The It Gets Better Project is dedicated to helping lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, and transgender people see "the levels of happiness, potential, and positivity their lives will reach". All of the proceeds from the ticket sales for the concert will go to the Ali Forney Center, an organization that offers support and services for homeless and runaway LGBTQ youth but saw its drop-in center destroyed by Hurricane Sandy last October.
"A Better Holiday Concert" will start with a cocktail party that begins at 7pm. During the hour-long cocktail reception, the art of photographer Victor Haim will be shown and sold (half of the proceeds from those sales will go to the Ali Forney Center). Tickets for the concert can be purchased here.
