Emmy winner Michael Imperioli, "Sex and the City's" Mario Cantone, Tony Award winner Alice Ripley and the cast of Million Dollar Quartet will join the previously announced Shoshana Bean (Wicked), Bryce Ryness (Hair, Legally Blonde), Kristen Beth Williams (Anything Goes), Tiffany Engen (Hairspray), Heather Parcells (A Chorus Line, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang), Matthew Stocke (Rock of Ages, The Wedding Singer), Amy Spanger (Elf, Rock of Ages), and Andrew Kober (Hair) on Tuesday March 6th when the Broadway community and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital come together for the first time for Spotlight on St. Jude, an unforgettable fundraising concert strictly for the kids at New World Stages (340 West 50th Street).
The evening will begin at 6.00pm with cocktails & hors d'oeuvres, followed at 7.00pm by a 90 minute show with a dessert reception for patron ticket holders. VIP ticket holders will also enjoy a Champagne Reception After-Party and a 'meet & greet' with all the stars of the concert at Inc. Lounge, located in the Time Hotel.
Since opening 50 years ago, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital has changed the way the world treats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. No family ever pays St. Jude Hospital for the care their child receives, and for every child treated here, thousands more have been saved worldwide through St. Jude discoveries.
The hospital has played a pivotal role in pushing U.S. pediatric cancer survival rates from 20 to 80 percent overall, and is the first and only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted to children. It is also a leader in the research and treatment of blood disorders and infectious diseases in children. St. Jude was founded by the late entertainer Danny Thomas, who believed that no child should die in the dawn of life.Videos
