SHREK Tour to Hold BC/EFA Benefit Concert, 3/5

Cast members of the NETworks touring production of "Shrek The Musical" (coming to Detroit February 28 – March 11 at the Fisher Theatre) will perform in a very special concert to benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and the John F. Kennedy School PTA in Ferndale. The benefit takes place on Monday, March 5 (7 p.m.) at The Loving Touch – 22634 Woodward Avenue in Ferndale. This is an 18 and over event.

Guests attending can support a good cause as they enjoy an intimate evening featuring a cabaret-style performance by members of the cast from the the National Tour of "Shrek The Musical." The evening will also feature a silent auction, which will allow guests to bid on items graciously donated by the Broadway community and local businesses. Singer/songwriter Steven Mullan closes out the evening with a performance. A cash bar is available during the evening.

Admission for the event is $15 cover charge at the door. All funds raised at the event (admission and silent auction) will benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and Ferndale's John F Kennedy Elementary School PTA.

Shrek The Musical, based on the Oscar®-winning DreamWorks film that started it all, brings the hilarious story of everyone's favorite ogre to life on stage. In a faraway kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly when an unseemly ogre – not a handsome prince – shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a donkey who won't shut up, a villain with a SHORT temper, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand… and his name is Shrek.

Featuring a terrific score of 19 all-new songs, big laughs, great dancing and breathtaking scenery, WWOR-TV proclaims Shrek The Musical, "Far, far and away the funniest new musical on Broadway!" Shrek The Musical is part romance, part twisted fairy tale and all irreverent fun for everyone! Visit www.shrekthemusicalontour.com for more info.

Steven Mullan's songs have been described as "rhythmic, solidly tuneful and often rocking," (Dan Kane, The Canton Repository) and "sturdy, rhythmic, soulful, and a little torchy," (Dave Richard's, Erie-Times News). Performing nearly 300 gigs a year, he and his band play regularly throughout the Detroit and Toledo metropolitan areas. This former opera singer turned Cosmopolitan Magazine model turned Detroit session keyboardist loves to play and write music. His next album, We're Not Old, will be available on iTunes this March.
