West End show Wicked has partnered with new anti-bullying charity The Ben Cohen StandUp Foundation, which was launched by England Rugby World Cup champion Ben Cohen MBE on 11 May at Rubens at the Palace.
Cohen said, "We are thrilled to launch the Ben Cohen StandUp Foundation in the UK and extremely grateful for the support of Wicked. Getting the message out about bullying and its long-term negative effects could not be done without the support and collaborative efforts of our partners."
Wicked producer Michael McCabe added, "Through its story of a young girl who is demonised because of her looks, Wicked has encouraged audiences across the world to draw inspiration from her choice to standup for what she believes. We are immensely proud of our anti-bullying work here in London, and we now look forward to making even more of a difference by partnering with Ben Cohen's remarkable new charity."
