Lippa starred as Harvey Milk, Tony and Emmy Award winner Kristin Chenoweth as the Soprano soloist and child actor Noah Marlowe (Mary Poppins, Act One) as "Young Harvey Milk."

Part choral work, part theater piece, I Am Harvey Milk is an emotional celebration of an American hero. It weaves the story of Harvey Milk's life - from boyhood to his rise as the first openly gay man to hold public office in California to his assassination. The San Francisco Bay Times called I Am Harvey Milk, "A musical and emotional tour de force!"
Directed by Noah Himmelstein the creative team also included Joel Fram (Musical Director, Conductor), Michele Lynch (Choreography), Andrew Lazarow (Projection Design), Scott Lehrer (Sound Design), Wilson Chin (Scenic Consultation), August Eriksmoen (Orchestrations) and David Lander (Lighting Design).
Proceeds from this one night only event will be used to create the Harvey Milk Arts Fund at the Hetrick- Martin Institute (HMI). The Fund will provide much-needed arts education and resources to students at Harvey Milk High School and other at-risk youth that benefit from HMI's services. Founded in 1979, HMI has grown to become the oldest and largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning and other at- risk youth services organization in the country. Today, HMI serves more than 2,000 young 11,000 youths around the tri-state area.
