At 8pm EST tonight, the luminous Rebecca Luker will be presenting a benefit with music and conversation titled At Home with Rebecca Luker.
In 2019, three time Tony Award nominee, Rebecca Luker was diagnosed with ALS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. There is an ALS drug candidate called Prosetin (the first-ever) which this evening's concert will be donating the entirety of its funds to with thanks to the suggested $25 ticket donation.
Tonight's event will be hosted by Santino Fontana, who recently won a Tony for his portrayal of Dorothy Michaels in Tootsie. In addition to this special concert event, Rebecca will also be joined by beloved journalist Katie Couric for a conversation. Prior to tonight, over $110,000 has been raised towards their goal of $125,000. To donate, visit this special Project/ALS portal.
We here at BroadwayBox are longtime fans of Ms. Luker. She has discussed six of her fabulous YouTube performances with us and we've gone on YouTube Spirals. Here are three quick clips for your Wednesday afternoon to marvel in Rebecca's immense talent.
