On Monday, September 26, the National Touring Company of WICKED will host Our Wicked, Wicked Ways, an  evening of cabaret performances.

Produced by Kevin Ireland, founder of theBestArts.com and Kevin Beebee, Associate Company Manager for WICKED, the  evening is an opportunity for company members to step out of their roles in the musical in music, dance and comedy; and will feature company members including Justin Brill (Boq), Mark Jacoby (The Wizard), Stefanie Brown (Nessarose) and Mariand Torres (Elphaba Standby), as well as members of the ensemble and touring staff. In addition, there will be a silent auction of items including WICKED memorabilia used in actual performances, and a live auction of several opportunities to join the company backstage at The Fox Theatre, including a chance to bid on a walk-on role to be in WICKED.

Our Wicked, Wicked Ways is part of an ongoing series of performances by the touring company throughout the country 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 alone. The company believes that in these divisive times we must come together to support those in need throughout the country and around the world. In its 6 years on the road, the company has raised over $2,000,000 in donations for BROADWAY CARES/EQUITY FIGHTS AIDS and local AIDS Services organizations all over the country.
