Concerts for Change, a national campaign holding fundraising events to raise money for Democratic efforts, announces the lineup for the third and final installment in its Voices for Change series, which features performances from Broadway's leading musical actors, including several Tony winners and nominees.

The final Voices for Change concert is Sunday, October 10, at 7pm, at Ars Nova, a beautiful 99-seat theater located at 511 West 54th Street.

The scheduled lineup includes: Alfred Molina, currently on Broadway in Fiddler on the Roof and the villain in Spider-Man 2; Cady Huffman, who won a Tony Award for The Producers and recently had a hilarious recurring role as "Herself" on the past season of Curb Your Enthusiasm—but in real life, Cady is not a Bush supporter; Michael Cerveris, who received a 2004 Tony for Assassins, in which he played John Wilkes Booth; Christopher Durang, the Obie-winning actor and author of numerous black comedies, including The Marriage of Bette and Boo, Beyond Therapy, and Betty's Summer Vacation; Tom Hewitt, currently playing the title role in Dracula on Broadway; Liz Callaway, an acclaimed cabaret performer and Broadway actor, who was a nominated for a Tony for her work in Baby; Brian d'Arcy James, Tony nominated for his role in Sweet Smell of Success; Karen Mason, the award-winning cabaret singer who appeared in Mamma Mia!; Kelli O'Hara, on Broadway in Dracula; Phoebe Kreutz, the quirky puppet wrangler from Avenue Q, and Christopher Sieber, who appeared in the recent revival of Into the Woods.

Our MC for the evening will be Jim Caruso (the host of Broadway stars' favorite party on Monday nights, "Cast Party" at Birdland). Special guests are also expected—Alexandra Kerry introduced the first Voices for Change concert.

Tickets are $75 online, $100 at the door.
Advance tickets are available only at http://www.ConcertsforChange.org.

Concerts for Change (http://www.ConcertsforChange.org) is a national organization holding benefit concerts across the country to support John Kerry and Democrats. Concerts for Change is the successor to Concerts for Kerry, an independent grassroots group that raised more than $200,000 directly for the Kerry campaign through 41 concerts in 12 cities, attended by more than 9,000 concertgoers, between April and the Democratic convention at the end of July. The concerts have featured a wide array of talent including jazz performers Savion Glover, Joshua Redman, and Dee Dee Bridgewater; comedians Jack Black, David Cross, and Sarah Silverman; DJs/musicians Moby, Mark Ronson, and DJ Spooky; bands and rock musicians OK Go, Ted Leo, Michelle Shocked, and Pink Martini; and singer-songwriters Grant-Lee Phillips, Duncan Sheik, and David Poe.

Concerts for Change is the partner of Run Against Bush (www.RunAgainstBush.org). Both groups are campaigns of Running for Change, a political action committee that targets donor dollars to specific groups, such as the DNC, swing state Democratic committees, Democratic candidates for federal office in those states, and other efforts that will help elect John Kerry in November.
