Haul out the holly and put up the tree because the annual star-studded holiday event SPARKLE: An All-Star Holiday Concert returns to New York City on Sunday, December 3rd for its 6th consecutive year, once again benefiting the programs and services of The Actors Fund (www.actorsfund.org). This one-night-only extravaganza, produced and hosted by TV personality Scott Nevins (Bravo's The People's Couch), will take place at The Cutting Room (44 E 32nd St.) at 7:30pm, featuring another high-wattage star power cast filled with some of today's hottest performers from the worlds of Broadway, television, film and the music industry!

The evening will once again be produced and hosted by TV personality Scott Nevins (Bravo's "The People's Couch," "truTV Presents: World's Dumbest...") with Benjamin Rauhala serving as Music Director and Arranger. *Cast is subject to change without notice.

"It's always so thrilling for me to put together another group of incredibly talented friends to help get everyone into the spirit of the season while we raise money for this amazing organization that has done so much for so many within our own community" says Producer and Host Scott Nevins. "I love that Sparkle has become a holiday tradition for so many in the New York area, and that each year the show just gets bigger and better!"
