I just spent a little under an hour enjoying the hell out of this video. Every year, Shoshana Bean headlines or organizes or is somehow involved with a fund-raising concert for the Performing Arts Program at Beaverton High School in Beaverton, Oregon. This year's was supposed to have taken place in an actual auditorium there with live human beings sitting in theater seats but…well, you know. They wound up moving it, as so much in our lives has been moved, online. And that video is below.
If you are excited about seeing new performers and new voices raised in song, you too may enjoy the hell out of it. There are plenty of star names in there but the kids steal the show. And if you're a fan of Wicked, at least watch the opening where a tag team of ladies who've played Elphaba not only defy gravity but the realities of today's pandemic-crushing world. (And should you feel motivated to donate, they'll welcome your money here.) Enjoy…
