The Fabulous Chickies Return in Concert to Benefit The Actors Fund This Month

"The Fabulous Chickies In Concert-a Benefit For The Actors Fund" will be live streamed on Friday, April 30, 2021 at 5 PM PST/8 PM EST.

The performance can be watched on The Actors Fund YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEPRiDvfcU8.

Back by popular demand after their smash October, 2020 concert, the Chickies are back, bringing songs of hope, second chances, Spring and love. With countless television, Broadway, off-Broadway, National Tour, regional, recording, concert, and cabaret appearances, these eleven singers who are best girlfriends have been Zooming monthly this past year, sharing lunches, laughs, stories, and lots and lots of songs.

Dubbing themselves The Chickies more than four years ago, and wanting to continue contributing during this difficult time, the women decided to do what they do best again-sing! They will be showcasing their unique friendship and talents in a livestream concert to benefit The Actors Fund. Performing songs from their illustrious careers, this evening promises to be as special as they are.

Filled with humor, heart, and great singing, the show will feature each Chickie in a solo performance, as well as two bonus group numbers. Aiming to raise spirits and entertain, they hope the audience will be inspired to donate to The Actors Fund, which has been central to relief efforts for all entertainment professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic, distributing almost $20 million in much needed assistance.
