Block (Wicked), and the casts of Once and American Repertory Theater's Witness Uganda. The one-night benefit concert served to support worldwide equality. The net proceeds of the event will go directly to Fueling the Frontlines, a three-year, $20 million campaign for global LGBTI rights led by the Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice. The evening also premiered clips from the new documentary To Russia With Love, which explores human rights through the lens of LGBTI sports figures, with iconic athlete and commentator Johnny Weir serving as the viewers' guide into this world.
