Forest Whitaker to Host All-Star Benefit Concert

What’s better than live music and a great cause? Pretty much nothing, but add Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker as the host and it’s everything. Performers4Peace, a benefit concert that’ll take place on May 9th at 42West, will support Whitaker Peace & Development Initiative’s work in peace and community building. And, it features all of our favorite Broadway artists!
