"Fierce Females" is a one night only benefit concert, to raise money and awareness for ovarian cancer research. The concert will feature Broadway alumni, as well as other talented vocalists singing powerful songs written and or originally performed by "FIERCE" women.

"Termed 'the silent killer,' ovarian cancer continues to be the deadliest of all gynecologic cancers, affecting 1 in 72 women in their lifetime.The symptoms can be vague, and mimic those of unrelated conditions. As a result, most cases are diagnosed in later stages of the disease when the prognosis is poor." "Fierce Females" is sure to be a night of awareness, and empowerment.

Songs by Whitney Houston, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Paramore, Dolly Parton, Jessie J. and more are set to be performed at the event.
