Additionally, casts from some of Broadway's hottest tickets will take the stage this year - including the cast of Priscilla Queen of the Desert featuring Nick Adams, Tony Sheldon, Will Swenson and special appearances by Paul Shaffer and the legendary Martha Wash. BroadwayWorld has learned that the men of Priscilla will be taking the stage with Wash for a rendition of "It's Raining Men," a number written by Paul Shaffer and originally performed by Martha Wash.  Click below for Wash singing the hit tune from days past!
