As the Georgia Runoff heats up, a group of Broadway artists has come together to encourage Georgia voters to vote for Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock. This company of artists has produced a vibrant, engaging video called, "Go Go GA," with the simple premise that, despite the challenges of 2020, if Democratic voters-in Georgia-turn out, the Senate will flip. This PSA parody [] is set to the score of Andrew Lloyd Webber's, "Jacob and Sons"/ "Go Go Go Joseph," from his musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. This one-minute video will have voters humming their way to the polls! The goal is to inspire, motivate, and entertain people, while reminding them to plan their vote between now and January 5th.

Like my last video, I prevailed upon my vastly talented colleagues to help make my vision a reality.
