"The composer behind the hit musical Wicked will not allow the show to be performed anywhere in North Carolina until the state repeals its anti-LGBT law.
Last month the North Carolina Republicans passed a law which voids all local ordinances protecting LGBT rights, and permits businesses to discriminate against LGBT people on the grounds of religious belief. "
