Joshua Turchin to Host THE EARLY NIGHT SHOW Virtual Benefit Concert To Support Surfside Building Collapse Victims

Joshua Turchin will host and accompany a special virtual concert of The Early Night Show with Joshua Turchin this Friday, July 2 at 8pm (viewable through www.theearlynightshow.com) to support victims and families impacted by the Surfside Building Collapse.

As a South Florida native with many friends impacted by the Champlain Towers collapse, Joshua assembled a cast of Broadway and Off-Broadway performers with ties to South Florida, as well as local talent to come together to help those impacted by the tragedy. The cast includes: Fabi Aguirre (Broadway- On Your Feet, Les Miserables), Alexa Lasanta (The Sound of Music Broadway National Tour), Emily Jewel Hoder (Les Miserables Broadway National Tour), Preston C. Howell (The Voice), Ava-Riley Miles (Broadway- Doctor Zhivago, Evita), Arianna Pereira (School of Rock Broadway National Tour), Isabella Rose Sky (School of Rock Broadway National Tour), Jay Hendrix (Because of Winn Dixie/Goodspeed Musicals, National Tour of A Christmas Story), Vanessa Valentin (Artist Developer, Vocal Coach, and Owner of Rising Starz Performance Academy), Meg Frost, Mira Levinson, Maya Levinson, Dylan Tuccitto and Beatrice Taveras.

South Florida performers Mira and Maya Levinson were directly impacted by the tragedy, as several extended family members were residing in the collapsed portion of the tower. "In this unimaginable time of heartache, it's nearly impossible to find light in such darkness. Music has always given us comfort. We hope this brings comfort to others," said Mira and Maya Levinson.

There is no fee to watch or listen to the concert, but Turchin asks audience members to please consider a donation to the verified fundraisers to support those affected by the Surfside condo collapse: https://www.gofundme.com/c/act/surfside-condo-collapse-fundraisers.
