Emmy Award winner Sarah Jessica Parker & Tony Award winner Matthew Broderick will host a one night only Broadway concert event, Broadway Voices For Change starring Tony Award winners Audra McDonald and Barbara Cook, to benefit America Votes on Sunday, October 19, at 8pm at Broadway's Al Hirschfeld Theatre (302 West 45th Street).  With musical direction by Ted Sperling and Lee Musiker, Broadway Voices For Change is produced by David Binder and Brian Savelson.

AMERICA VOTES is the largest grassroots voter mobilization effort in the country today, a coalition of over 40 of the most powerful national groups working together to increase progressive voter registration and turnout.  Some, like the labor unions, Sierra Club, and NAACP have been organizing since the turn of the 20th century.  Newer organizations like VoteVets and the League of Young Voters represent growing and important progressive constituencies.  This historic partnership represents a combined membership of over 40 million Americans representing a broad economic and social justice agenda.  They fight for good jobs, good healthcare, a clean environment, civil rights, and a good education.  They register voters in under-represented communities of color, women, young people, and LGBT Americans.  This is a coalition of political and organizing professionals.

Tickets for Broadway Voices For Change range from $50 to $99 (not including standard fees) and are available through Telecharge.com (212-239-6200 or 800-432-7250).  Select premium and aisle seating is available.
