A GMCLA spokesperson told Playbill that Grammy and Academy Award winner Schwartz, who also composed scores to Godspell, The Baker’s Wife, The Prince of Egypt and other musicals and films, will appear in person that night to perform “For Good” from Wicked with the chorus.
Schwartz was chosen as “a longtime supporter of the LGBTQ community [who] was inspired by Dan Savage’s It Gets Better Undertaking to write the choral piece ‘Testimony’ and helped produce ‘Tyler’s Suite.’ Both pieces have been used in anti-bullying and suicide prevention campaigns nationwide. Schwartz’s other charitable work has included organizing the Uprising of Love concert to benefit and raise insight of LGBTQ people in hostile countries as good as producing benefits for the Juvenile Diabetes Analyze Foundation and the Faustman Clinic.”
Daniel Franzese will host the 6th annual ceremony, being held at the JW Marriott at L.A. LIVE hotel in downtown Los Angeles. The chorus’ Community Leader Voice Award will go to Human Rights Campaign

Billie Holiday home
South Durham Street
Billie Holiday () had a rough childhood. As a young lady named Eleanora Fagan, she cut school so often she was sent to live at the Home of the Good Shepherd, a home for &#;colored girls&#; run by the Little Sisters of the Poor (Claverton Road and Franklin Street). There, she may have had her first lesbian experiences.
Returned to her mother after a year, the two took up residence at this address, one of dozens they occupied over the years. The house is still standing, but the original brick façade was covered over with Permastone in the s. It was in this home, in , that Eleanora was raped by a neighbor and subsequently sent back to Good Shepherd. But she was a handful, and the sisters refused to keep her for long.

Eleanora began singing at various storefront churches, but her first professional gig was at Buddy Love&#;s, a club located at Orleans and Wayside.
As a young teenager, Eleanora moved to New York
