Guster Perform With Cast of ‘Finn’ After LGBTQ+ Musical Canceled Following Trump Kennedy Center Takeover


Guster performed with the cast of the LGBTQ+ musical 'Finn' after it was canceled following the Trump Kennedy Center takeover.

“As the new administration has made abundantly clear, Finn ’s themes of inclusivity, love, and self-acceptance aren’t going to be welcome in this building while they are in control. Following Finn ‘s cancellation at the Kennedy Center — which the venue said at the time was a “ purely financial decision ” — the show was performed by a cast of Broadway stars for a one-night-only livestream at New York’s Town Hall earlier this month, with a portion of the proceeds earmarked for The Trevor Project. Among the stars who participated in the special event were: Andrew Rannells, Bonnie Milligan, Nikki M James, Kelli o’Hara, Lea Salonga, Michael Urie, Peppermint, Brenda Braxton and more.
