What are Sting and Patti LuPone doing on the same stage? The unconventional dynamic duo, along with host Jane Lynch, Tony Award winner Billy Porter and a gaggle of Broadway stars are coming together for Uprising of Love: A Benefit Concert for Global Equality. The evening also features country-music star Chely Wright, Bollywood star Celina Jaitly, the casts of hit Broadway shows Once and Wicked, the casts of Witness, Uganda and I Am Harvey Milk, a Grammy Award winning surprise musical guest, and more.
Written by Academy Award-winning Dustin Lance Black, executive producers Stephen Schwartz and Bruce Cohen have brought together this all-star cast for a one-night-only show that will weave together stories and performances from activists and musical artists from around the world.
The net proceeds raised from the show will go to Fueling the Frontlines, a campaign by the Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice, the only philanthropic organization in the United States solely dedicated to globally advancing LGBTI rights.
