The cast and crew of The Lion King, now in Charlotte, NC, will host The Lion Sings Tonight - a cabaret-style show featuring a generous mix of Rock 'n Roll, Pop and R&B numbers, as well as dance and comedy.

"Audience members will enjoy over 15 performances, including performances by cast, orchestra and crew, as well as a special celebrity guest performance. In addition, they'll also have an opportunity to win a variety of door prizes, including tickets and rare Lion King merchandise. All proceeds will benefit RAIN and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (BC/EFA)," state press notes

"RAIN engages the community to transform lives and promote respect and dignity for all people touched by the AIDS crisis through compassionate care, education and leadership development. Its services include Care Teams which are groups of individuals from congregations or other caring groups who are trained by RAIN to support to persons living with HIV/AIDS. CareTeams provide practical, emotional, spiritual support to CarePartners (individual living with HIV/AIDS). CareTeams can provide assistance to one or more CarePartners or can provide specialized tasks such as: Transportation, Pastoral Care/Companionship or Events.  RAIN coordinates programs in 100 different congregations from 20 denominations & faith traditions, in 13 counties in North & South Carolina."
