I'm so excited that the broadway community is doing something to honor the lives lost in Orlando last month. All the proceeds are going to the families of the victims which is so important in a disaster of that magnitude. I feel like the tragedy in Orlando has been brushed under the carpet due to the sheer insane amount of crazy shooting and terror attacks in the past few months which is so devastating. The largest mass shooting in American history was a hate crime against my community, and it's been partially forgotten in just over a month. The fact that a broadway show with its original cast is traveling down the coast to perform just one show as a fundraiser shows just how much the cast and crew of the show cares about the issue their show stands for. Also, Fun Home is coming to LA later this year and I'm so excited to get to see it.
