United FORlando, an evening concert and conversation presented by the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts and the Los Angeles LGBT Center in memory and support of the victims of the recent tragedy at Pulse nightclub, will close the evening tribute with a sing-along performance of Broadway For Orlando's What the World Needs Now is Love. Special guests leading the sing-along include actress Kristen Bell (Frozen), actress Marissa Jaret Winokur (Hairspray) and singer/musician Our Lady J.

The evening concert-on Saturday, July 16, 2016 at 8:00 p.m. in the Bram Goldsmith Theater at The Wallis-includes special musical performances by the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles and the cast of the acclaimed play Hit The Wall by Ike Holter. Actor, writer and director Tajamika Paxton will join Kate Kendell of the National Center for Lesbian Rights and Darrel Cummings of the Los Angeles LGBT Center for the conversation "After Orlando: Reflections and Where We Go From Here," moderated by actor and activist Wilson Cruz.
