Broadway Cast of CHICAGO - It Gets Better

In response to the recent tragic events of bullying and suicides of gay teens across the country, the cast of Chicago is speaking out against intolerance. As part of columnist Dan Savage's viral "It Gets Better" video series, the cast sat down backstage at the Ambassador Theatre to share their own struggles of being teased during adolescence. The performers drive home the message that "it gets better" and through strength and perseverance, they have grown into strong adults living extraordinary lives. Take a look as the cast razzle dazzles their powerful message!

Bless every one of you for being so honest and for showing that hope and strength are the only weapons to survive the stupidity of bullies.

This is really beautiful. Thank you.
You know what would make it get even a little better? Remixing and reuploading it with the background music a bit lower - it overwhelms and distracts from what people are saying at times.

I cried when I watched this

[@mister6web]

What an amazing message! I wish there would have been someone who told me so when I struggled with my own coming out. Well, finally I can only agree: It get's better. Sooner than I thought!
Yet I'm a bit sad that there is obviously still a need for this message.

[@MatthewJKilgore]

It only gets better in stories

[@EmeraldSky33]

I couldn't hold back the tears. I wanted to kill myself once, not because of bullying, but you're right. It get better. I could scarcely be happier now, only a few months later.

[@andrewskinner8560]

I really wish that was true

[@gmafredas]

This is just so beautiful!! Look at you know, and where are they? probably unhappy and miserable. BRAVO
