It's no secret that the young stars of FUN HOME are really into HAMILTON (click here for proof), so maybe that's how Gabriella Pizzolo picked up her amazing rap skills, which she put to good use after last night's performance to help raise funds for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

Pizzolo has taken over the role of Small Alison in the groundbreaking musical based on Alison Bechdel's graphic novel and every year during the holiday season Broadway actors give a post-show curtain speech asking for donations to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, one of the nation's leading industry-based, nonprofit AIDS fundraising and grant-making organizations.

By drawing upon the talents, resources, and generosity of the American theatre community, since 1988 BC/EFA has raised more than $285 million for essential services for people with AIDS and other critical illnesses across the United States. For more information, visit Broadway Cares online at broadwaycares.org.

Featuring a cast led by 2015 Tony Award-winner Michael Cerveris, as well as 2015 Tony Award nominees Judy Kuhn,Beth Malone, and Emily Skeggs, Fun Home also features Gabby Pizzolo, Roberta Colindrez, Zell Steele Morrow,Joel Perez, Oscar Williams, Lauren Patten,Marrick Smith, Jim Stanek, and Nicole Van Giesen.

FUNHOME introduces us to Alison at three different ages, revealing memories of her uniquely dysfunctional family - her mother, brothers and volatile, brilliant, enigmatic father - that connect with her in surprising new ways. This intimate and emotional theatrical experience is performed entirely in the round, bringing audiences closer to Alison's story than ever before. A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, FUN HOME is a refreshingly honest, wholly original musical about seeing your parents through grown-up eyes.

Last night, Gabriella Pizzolo dropped the beat to support Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
