PEOPLE LIKE US: a new broadway revue for charity
Marpole United Church
Vancouver, BC
Share this event:




Join Mariposa's multi-award-winning performers for a charity benefit like no other! In PEOPLE LIKE US, hit Broadway shows like RENT, FOLLIES and COMPANY collide, weaving together in an original tale about life and love in the modern age. Set on a single night in a New York City bar, you won't want to miss this love letter to the musical theatre genre, brought to you by the company whose performances have been hailed as "an evening of delight" (Review Vancouver), "an extraordinary feat" (North Shore News) and "a stroke of genius" (The Voice).

In honour of May 12th International Awareness Day for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia (ME/CFS & FM), a portion of every ticket sale will support the National ME/FM Action Network, which aids people living with life-altering chronic neuro-immune diseases. The evening will include a reception, as well as a charity raffle contest with over $2,000 in prizes.

The story behind the show:
Soprano Jacqueline Ko has lived with ME/CFS since the age of six. Despite her struggle with illness, she has managed to realize her dream of becoming an award-winning singer and founding a critically acclaimed opera and Broadway company. She is committed to using her passion for music to help others, and since 2009, her benefit performances have raised over $33,000 in aid of those suffering from chronic neuro-immune diseases.
