"Peace and quiet and open air
wait for us
Somewhere..."From: NewNowNext
Monday night, Tituss Burgess was among the speakers at a vigil at New York’s Stonewall Inn for the victims of the mass shooting in Orlando.
“At times like this, I find myself at a loss for what to do, [so] I’m going to give you the one thing that I always had readily available,” said the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt star before breaking into a rendition of “Somewhere” from West Side Story.
West Side Story, of course, is the Tony-winning musical that deals with senseless violence and the hope for a better world.
Burgess is also donating proceeds from his upcoming Taste of Tituss Pride event to GLAAD and Equality Florida, which are both on the ground in Orlando.
The three-day event, taking place June 17, 18, and 20 at New York’s Out hotel, includes dinner, brunch and barbecue with Burgess, as well as a live performance. Burgess will also be sharing tastes of his new wines, Pinot Pride and Rosé Pride, inspired by his Kimmy Schmidt character’s song “Peeno Noir.”
