I Am Harvey Milk - Part choral work and part theater piece, I Am Harvey Milk is an exceptional and emotional celebration of a true American icon. www.gmcla.org
I Am Harvey Milk is GMCLA's 60-minute oratorio capturing the colorful and tragic life of Harvey Milk, from his childhood, to his rise as the first openly gay man to hold public office in California, to his untimely assassination.
Co-commissioned by seven gay men's choruses, including GMCLA, I Am Harvey Milk showcases the words and music of Tony-nominated composer Andrew Lippa (The Addams Family, Big Fish), who takes on the role of Harvey Milk. Produced by Oscar winner Bruce Cohen (American Beauty, Milk, Silver Linings Playbook), you'll witness an all-star cast including the 200+ singers of GMCLA and additional special guest appearances from visiting members of the other co-commissioning choruses, for a combined powerhouse performance featuring over 500 voices!
