Get Under The Covers With ‘Wicked’

On Friday, Aug. 7 at 11:30 p.m., the National Touring Company of Wicked hosts Wicked Under The Covers, an evening of cabaret performances. Held at Baja Betty’s and produced by company members of Wicked, the event features cast and crew members of the touring company as well as special guest performers. The net proceeds of this one-night-only event benefits Being Alive San Diego and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

The event features members of the cast and crew of the touring company – including Katie Rose Clarke (Glinda, pictured), Richard H. Blake (Fiyero), Merideth Kaye Clark (Elphaba Standby) – performing covers of their favorite music. In keeping with the “under the covers” theme and the late night hour, sleepwear is encouraged, both for the performers and the audience! In addition to the performances, there will be live and silent auction items, including the opportunity to bid on Wicked show-related items, as well as chances to join the company backstage at the Civic Theatre.

Admission to Wicked Under The Covers is by donation of $25. Tickets will be available at the door, or through Baja Betty’s at 1421 University Ave., San Diego – or by phone at (619) 269-8510 or through Being Alive at (619) 291-1400 x317.
