A Benefit Concert will take place next Monday night, December 8th, at the Hudson Mainstage Theatre in Hollywood. The concert will benefit the Musical Theatre of Los Angeles.

The event will feature selections from this past season of shows: Chicago (nominated for two Ovation Awards), The Last Five Years, Ragtime, West Side Story, plus Les Miserables. Eden Espinosa of Wicked will make a special appearance, singing a song from RENT.

There will be a post-show reception catered by Fabiolus Cafe and Cake & Art Bakery.
Cocktail attire is required.

Tickets are $125 and will benefit MTLA's next season of musicals.

While the Benefit Concert is of particular relevance to Los Angeles audiences, the news of Eden Espinosa's appearance would interest theatre fans nation-wide.

Eden Espinosa recently returned to Wicked in Southern California, where she was born and raised. She has performed the role of Elphaba to critical acclaim on Broadway, the San Francisco stop on the national tour, and in the Los Angeles production from its opening through December 2007. Following her stint in Wicked, Eden performed the title role in Flora, the Red Menace for Reprise! in Los Angeles, and then joined the final Broadway company of Rent as Maureen at the Nederlander Theatre in New York. She created the title character in Brooklyn the Musical and performed it from the original workshop, on through its Broadway run. You may have heard her on such recordings as Hair (BCEFA benefit recording), The Maury Yeston Songbook, Bright Lights, Big City, John McDaniel Live at Joe's Pub and Scott Alan's Dreaming Wide Awake
