WICKED To Host Anit-Bullying Event with Ben Cohen and Dan Savage

In its ongoing efforts to combat bullying, the hit Broadway musical WICKED will host a special event on Thursday, October 11, featuring two leaders in the worldwide campaign to bring an end to bullying: Ben Cohen, MBE, founder of The Ben Cohen StandUp Foundation, and Dan Savage, co-founder of The It Gets Better Project. Ben and Dan will be joined by members of the WICKED company for a post-performance talk-back to discuss what can be done to help stop the prevalence of bullying.

Tickets for this special event, which is being held on National Coming Out Day, includes that evening’s 8pm performance of the Broadway blockbuster as well as access to the talk-back. Special event tickets can be purchased at Stand Up - It Gets Better - WICKED. A portion of the ticket price will be donated to The It Gets Better Project and The Ben Cohen StandUp Foundation.
