Stars of stage and screen will lend their voices to A Better Holiday: A Concert to Benefit the It Gets Better Project. The concert will feature songs of hope to celebrate the season, and is set for Monday, December 5th at Joe's Pub. Show time is 9:30PM.

Andrew Rannells (Book of Mormon), Nellie McKay, Rebecca Naomi Jones (American Idiot, Passing Strange), Monica Raymund (The Good Wife, Lie to Me), Dee Roscioli (Wicked), Michael Arden (Big River), Tituss Burgess (The Little Mermaid, Guys & Dolls), and Max von Essen (Les Miserables) are among the performers slated to appear. Additional talent will be announced shortly.

Dominick Amendum (Wicked) will serve as musical director. Rebecca Atwood and Kyle Luker of The Group Entertainment will present the benefit concert.

All proceeds will benefit the It Gets Better Project™, an organization created by Dan Savage and Terry Miller to show young LGBT people the levels of happiness, potential, and positivity their lives will reach – if they can just get through their teen years. The It Gets Better Project wants to remind teenagers in the LGBT community that they are not alone — and it WILL get better. It Gets Better Project™ has turned into a worldwide movement, inspiring more than 30,000 user-created videos viewed more than 40 million times.

Joe's Pub, The Public Theater's nightlife venue, recently reopened after a plush makeover. Tickets are priced at $125 premium and $50 reserved. Visit www.joespub.com. Joe's Pub is located within The Public Theater at 425 Lafayette Street.
