In light of the recent string of suicides among young gay men in our country, The Laurie Beechman Theatre is humbled to present It Gets Better: Broadway Supports The Trevor Project.

'Let's see if we can do this without a microphone,' peeped Jo Sullivan Loesser, as she prepared to fill the 1,495-seat Town Hall with 'Somebody, Somewhere,' which she introduced in the 1956 original Broadway production of The Most Happy Fella.  While the age of the widow of the great Frank Loesser is a fact you'll not find via Google, let's just say she's a few decades beyond the point where audiences would expect to hear such lovely, expressive and, yes, loud soprano tones from an unamplified voice.  The house, still and silent for those few minutes of bliss, finally erupted with appreciative cheers for the brief reminder of a time when all Broadway musicals were sung that way.

David Alpert and DiStar Productions/Justin Huebener are pleased to announce the third annual concert series of LIVING FOR TODAY, with musical direction by Michael Postic, and direction by David Alpert. LIVING FOR TODAY will play a one-night-only engagement at The Laurie Beechman Theatre (407 West 42nd St. NYC, NY 10036) on October 24, 2010 at 9:30PM.
