When Standing Ovations IV was announced, we never expected the response that fell upon us so immediately. It is now totally SOLD OUT, and we're holding few tickets for people directly involved in the evening, including our cast who are graciously giving their time and talent to benefit Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS. We have therefore decided to put a pair up "for auction" that we will keep up until Friday, at 12:00 Noon, on October 14th - and will use this rare opportunity to raise additional funds for BC/EFA. Our intent is certainly not to seem cruel in any way, but we are also aware that there are able, generous people out there, who can help make this night mean even more by helping us to raise additional funds.

Whoever becomes the highest bidder, will write their check directly to BC/EFA, which will be tax deductible to the full extent of the law. In addition, on the evening of the event, we will have many special items for sale to raise as much money as we possibly can. Our goal with Standing Ovations IV is to break all of our previous fundraising records. The bidding will start at $100 for this pair of tickets, which is their actual "street value" price. We'll keep you posted. Thank you for your understanding...



As previously announced, the latest edition of this popular series will take place on Sunday evening, October 16th, at 6:30 PM, at Joe's Pub at the Public Theater. Standing Ovations IV is being directed by Richard Jay-Alexander, and produced by Robert Diamond and Eddie Varley. All proceeds from the evening will benefit Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS.

Performers currently scheduled to appear include (in alphabetical order): Michael Arden, Brooks Ashmanskas, D'Jamin Bartlett, Jennifer Rae Beck, Polly Bergen, Sarah Uriarte Berry, Steven Brinberg as Simply Barbra, David Burnham, Andrea Burns, Jaime Camil, Paul Castree, Natascia Diaz, Joey Dudding, Felicia Finley, Malcolm Gets, Nicolette Hart, Catherine Hickland, Cheyenne Jackson, Alexis Kalehoff, Mackenzie Mauzy, Andrea McArdle, Sean McDermott, Howard McGillin, Jane Monheit, Crista Moore, Melba Moore, Paul Pecorino, Paige Price, Anthony Rapp, Eden Riegel, Lea Salonga, Natalie Toro, Josh Walden, Jessica-Snow Wilson, The Original 1982 Urchins from Little Shop of Horrors (Sheila Kay Davis, Leilani Jones and Jennifer Leigh Warren) - 23 years later! There will also be some unannounced performers and other surprises for our audience. It's sure to be a night to remember.

* SPECIAL BONUS FOR OUR AUDIENCE - Especially for the occasion, attendees of Standing Ovations IV will receive a complimentary copy of Darcie Denkert's new (hot off the presses) coffee table book: "A Fine Romance: Hollywood/Broadway (The Magic. The Mayhem. The Musicals.)," courtesy of Watson-Guptill Publications (A $45 Value). As publicity notes describe, the 320 page coffee table book is for everyone who loves movie musicals and Broadway musicals alike. We will also be thanking our gifted and talented cast with a copy of this new glossy release.

Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (BC/EFA) is the nation's leading industry-based, not-for-profit AIDS fundraising and grant making organization. BC/EFA is the on-going, committed response from the American Theatre community to an urgent worldwide health crisis. By drawing upon the talents, resources, and generosity of this community, BC/EFA raises funds for AIDS-related causes across the United States. Since its founding in 1988, BC/EFA has raised over $100 million for critically needed services for people with AIDS, HIV or HIV-related illnesses. http://www.bcefa.org/ .

In keeping with this generosity, Richard Jay-Alexander, our director, who is a member of the Board of Trustees, will be donating his entire fee for this event.
