The annual Easter Bonnet Competition will return this spring to celebrate its 30th anniversary on Monday, April 25 and Tuesday, April 26 at the Minskoff Theatre (200 West 45th Street, NYC). Performers from Broadway, Off-Broadway and national touring companies will showcase their talents in song, dance and comedy, topped off by outstandingly creative bonnets hand-designed especially for the event.

The 2016 edition of Easter Bonnet Competition will again take over the Minskoff Theatre, currently the home of Disney's long-running hit The Lion King.

The two-day event will be held at 4:30 pm on April 25 and at 2 pm on April 26. Get tickets.

Produced by and benefiting Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, the Easter Bonnet Competition celebrates six weeks of intensive fundraising efforts by dozens of Broadway, Off-Broadway and national touring companies. Broadway Cares' iconic red buckets will start appearing at theatre exits Friday, March 11.

Last year's Easter Bonnet Competition raised a remarkable $4,711,386. Since 1987, the 29 editions of this highly anticipated annual event have brought in more than $63.3 million.

This year's special guests, celebrity judges and more details will be announced later this spring.
