Women's History Month might be coming to a close, but some ladies of Broadway are still celebrating. Moulin Rouge! The Musical's Morgan Marcell has united some of her most talented friends with India Arie's "There's Hope."
"First of all, it's Women's History Month and females are fighters," says Marcell. "I've wanted to get my friends together and do an at-home video to this song for years. As soon as the pandemic hit and Broadway went on hiatus, I knew this was the time. I've worked with so many talented artists, activists, mothers, wives, daughters, warriors, bright lights. Why not let the world know: we're here, in our homes, just like you are, but it doesn't cost a thing to smile and you don't have to pay to laugh. Hope this brings you joy and reminds you there IS hope "
