Music is Medicine is more than a concert—it’s a chance to experience the healing power of music while helping bring healing to others.
Join Broadway and Hollywood star Zachary Levi for a one-night-only benefit concert supporting Nerd HQ’s mission to provide therapy for people who cannot afford it. Together, we’re setting an ambitious goal for the evening of funding 1,000 therapy sessions for individuals and families in need—and every ticket purchased helps bring that goal within reach.
Best known for his starring roles in Shazam!, Chuck, Broadway’s She Loves Me, and as the unforgettable singing voice of Flynn Rider in Disney’s Tangled, Zac brings his signature warmth, humor, and powerhouse vocals to a fabulous evening of live music. Backed by a spectacular 17-piece big band, Zac will perform timeless classics and musical favorites that celebrate the joy, hope, and connection only live music can create—including the Tangled fan-favorite “I See the Light”.
Beyond the performance, guests will have opportunities throughout the evening to further the mission through exclusive auction experiences, special fundraising moments, and other ways to make a lasting impact. VIP guests will also enjoy an intimate post-show Q&A with Zac, a professional photo opportunity with Zac, exclusive time together following the performance, and more.
Come ready for an evening of incredible music, laughter, heartfelt moments, and a few surprises. Together, we’ll celebrate the power of music to uplift the soul while helping remove one of the greatest barriers to mental health care: the cost of therapy. One unforgettable night of music. One thousand therapy sessions. Countless lives changed.
