The Musical. The show is now playing at the Music Hall at Fair Park through April 2. But Monday night will be something altogether different — and it’s for a good cause. “Our company believes in the power of art to create change, and we hope to bring attention and awareness to an often neglected disease,” cast member Tamrin Goldberg — one of the benefit organizers — said in a press release. “Together, we can stop TB.” In the show, the main character, Satine, suffers from “consumption,” which is actually tuberculosis, hence this fundraising awareness event.
But with performances by the cast, the show sounds like a “Crazy Rolling” fun time. “The benefit concert will really be something entirely unique.
It’s an opportunity to see these incredible artists doing what they love outside of the show that many of us have been performing in for over a year now … although you may hear a familiar melody kicking off the evening,” Goldberg said. “Our benefit concert will be an opportunity for Dallas to celebrate activism and to come together for art.” Goldberg said about a third of the cast will participate in the show along with some of its crew.
