MCC THEATER (Robert LuPone, Bernard Telsey and William Cantler, Artistic Directors; Blake West, Executive Director) presented its annual gala, Miscast 2015 Gala last night at The Hammerstein Ballroom at the Manhattan Center (311 West 34th Street). Miscast 2015 honored two bold and fearless women: Emmy® & Golden Globe® nominated stage and screen actress Sarah Paulson and Tony® Award-winning producer Fran Weissler. BroadwayWorld's Richard Ridge was there for the big night and you can check out red carpet interviews with the performers, honorees, and celebrity guests below!

Actor and "Daily Show" regular Aasif Mandvi acted as emcee, and the all-star lineup of performers included Uzo Aduba, winner of both the Emmy® and SAG® Awards for her work on "Orange is the New Black"; Tony® Award winners Laura Benanti and Jessie Mueller; Tony® Award nominees Annaleigh Ashford, Christopher Fitzgerald, Joshua Henry, Jeremy Jordan and Andrew Rannells; and stage and screen stars Leslie Odom Jr., Ben Platt, and Betsy Wolfe.

MCC Theater's annual Miscast gala is one of the most exciting and unique theater events in town. Broadway's hottest stars perform songs from roles in which they wouldnever be cast. Proceeds from Miscast 2015 will, as always, support MCC Theater's mission to develop and produce exciting work Off-Broadway, as well as its Youth Company and partnerships with New York City public high schools, and MCC's literary development work with emerging playwrights.
