This April, VH1's Save The Music Foundation will host a one-night-only benefit concert celebrating the life of the late George Michael.

The show, which will take place at the Highline Ballroom on April 24th, will feature performances by Erich Bergen (Madam Secretary, Jersey Boys), Javier Muñoz (currently starring as Hamilton on Broadway), Emmy-Nominee Tituss Burgess (The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), Cheyenne Jackson (American Horror Story), and more to be announced. The performers will be delivering Michael's greatest hits, backed by an orchestra, and Z100's Elvis Duran will host.

Tickets go on sale today, and prices range from $40 for General Admission to $75 for VIP Admission (which includes a poster signed by the artists). Proceeds will benefit VH1 Save The Music’s efforts to restore school music programs nationwide. Which is probably needed now more than ever.
