Julia Murney, who plays Elphaba on the Broadway show “Wicked”, belted out Defying Gravity on the stage of the Palace Theater in downtown Waterbury last night during a benefit concert for Sandy Hook. Murney was one of several dozen stars to participate in “From Broadway With Love – A Benefit Concert For Sandy Hook”. The entire first level of the theater was filled with people directly impacted by last month’s tragedy; families who lost children or loved ones, and first responders. There was children’s laughter in the building, especially when Richard Kind sang “I Wan’na Be Like You” from The Jungle Book. Photograph by John Murray
