“Wicked” Support for Civil Marriage Equality
Lisa Derrick Thursday January 8, 2009 10:14 am
Next Monday, January 12 when the show is dark, the casts from the four companies of Wicked will perform cabaret nights in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Louisville to promote equality and civil rights. The evening’s events Defying Inequality:
will benefit Empire State Pride Agenda, Equality California, Garden State Equality and Vermont Freedom to Marry, four charitable organizations working to legislate equality and protect civil rights for the gay and lesbian community.
Cast members will be joined by local theatrical performers
who also recognize that in these divisive times we must come together to support one another’s rights throughout the country.

This is a pretty creative way to raise awareness (and funds!) to support civil marriage for everyone…
But does anyone think that people going to see “Wicked’ aren’t 75% in favor of gay marriage already?
