CHICAGO, IL— Members of the National Touring companies of WICKED and BEAUTIFUL — THE CAROLE KING MUSICAL, and HAMILTON Chicago company members, will host "We Three Shows: A Broadway Holiday Benefit," a cabaret concert benefitting Chicago House and Social Service Agency and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. The benefit will take place at Thalia Hall ( 1807 South Allport Street ) on December 11, 2017 at 7:30 PM. Doors open at 6:00 PM for VIP ticketed guests and 7:00 PM for general admission.
