Photo Coverage: Drama League Honors Kristin Chenoweth

The 28th Annual Drama League Benefit Gala, A Musical Celebration of Broadway Honoring Kristin Chenoweth, was held on February 6, 2012 at the famed Pierre Hotel in New York City. Check out photos from the red carpet below!

Honoring Emmy and Tony Award winner Kristin Chenoweth, the evening included a one-night-only musical tribute performed by dozens of stars from the stage and screen. Designed by celebrity event planner Preston Bailey, the Gala supported the educational initiatives of The Drama League Directors Project.

The annual black-tie soiree — featuring a cocktail reception, a dazzling silent auction, and a specially-crafted three-course meal – is a night where the greatest stars of Broadway and Hollywood come together in a unique, one-night-only musical revue.

The Benefit Gala raises much-needed funds for the vital education programs of The Drama League Directors Project. Since 1984, the Benefit Gala has honored exceptional artists whose talent and passion have served as a benchmark for others. Each year, an enthusiastic audience of 400 theatre lovers – comprised of recognizable names from the professional theatre community and society pages, as well as Drama League members and supporters – come out to support the Drama League Directors Project.
