Please join the AIDS Taskforce of Greater Cleveland and members of the 
National Touring Company of "WICKED" on Monday, December 16, 2013, as they 
host

"A WICKED Wonderland"

An evening of holiday song and dance featuring company members from the 
National Tour of "WICKED" to benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and 
the AIDS Taskforce!

A WICKED WONDERLAND is part of an ongoing series of performances by the 
touring company to support charitable causes which advance WICKED?s theme 
of acceptance and illuminate the musical?s message that people should not 
be judged on first impressions. In its eight years on the road, the 
company has raised over $2 million in donations for Broadway Cares/Equity 
Fights AIDS and local AIDS service organizations all over the country. 
Produced by company members Kevin Beebee and Lauren Haughton, the evening 
is an opportunity for the company to step out of their roles in the 
musical and kick up their heels performing some of their favorite 
non-Ozian holiday material.

The show will take place in the Hanna Theatre (2067 East 14th Street in 
PlayhouseSquare).  Doors open at 6:30 pm, with the preformance beginning 
at 7:30 pm. VIP admission is a $75 donation, which includes preferred 
seating and admission to a post-show reception with members of the 
company. General admission tickets are available for $35. All proceeds 
benefit BC/EFA and AIDS Taskforce of Greater Cleveland, so admission 
donations are tax deductible. Tickets are available through the 
PlayhouseSquare Ticket Office, at www.playhousesquare.org or by phone at 
216.241.6000

This Monday night event will include LIVE and SILENT auctions featuring 
opportunities to join the company backstage at the State Theatre as well 
as some once-in-a-lifetime "WICKED" experiences you?ll never forget.  Do 
you want to take a backstage tour to watch the "greening" of Elphaba 
before seeing the show from house seats?  How about a chance to ride in 
Glinda's bubble -- the very same one that Kristin Chenowith rode during 
the 2004 Tony Awards ceremony?  Or what about a walk-on role in an actual 
performance of "WICKED" at PlayhouseSquare, with two house seats for 
family or friends to watch?  These are some of the amazing live auction 
items that will be offered, so if you need that perfect holiday gift for a 
special theatre lover, this is the place to be on December 16!

The support from the Northeast Ohio artists' community for the musical 
productions to support BC/EFA and the AIDS Taskforce over the summer was 
wonderful -- now here's the chance to support BOTH great organizations in 
one night of holiday entertainment!   See you there!
