WICKED & THE BOOK OF MORMON Tour Casts Set for BC/EFA and Actors' Fund Fundraiser, 10/27

The Actors' Fund of Canada and members of the National Touring Companies of WICKED and THE BOOK OF MORMON will host DON'T STOP BELIEVIN', an evening of song and dance, at the Panasonic Theatre on Monday, October 27. The performance starts at 8:00 PM with the VIP Plus reception beginning at 6:30 PM. The Panasonic Theatre is located at 651 Yonge Street, Toronto. Net proceeds will benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (BC/EFA) and the Actors' Fund of Canada.

DON'T STOP BELIEVIN' is part of an ongoing series of performances by the touring companies to support charitable causes. Collectively, both tours have raised over $3.5 million in donations for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and local AIDS service organizations all over North America. Produced by company members, the evening is an opportunity for them to step out of their roles in the musicals and kick up their heels performing some of their favourite non- show related material.

VIP Plus admission is $250, which includes a pre-show reception with cast members, preferred seating, professional photograph with cast members, refreshments and WICKED and THE BOOK OF MORMON merchandise. VIP admission tickets are available for $125, which includes preferred seating and WICKED and THE BOOK OF MORMON merchandise. Reserved seats are also available for $55.
