GYPSY OF THE YEAR to be Held at New Amsterdam Theatre on December 5-6

Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS has announced that the 23rd Annual Gypsy of the Year will be held on Monday, December 5 (4:30 PM) and Tuesday, December 6 (2 PM) at the New Amsterdam Theatre (214 West 42nd Street).

Called "the season's most dazzling talent show," the all-singing, all-dancing Gypsy of the Year is easily the biggest party in town with appearances by dozens of Broadway and Off-Broadway's most popular shows and performers.

Gypsy of the Year is the culmination of six weeks of intensive fundraising by Broadway, Off-Broadway and national touring companies. It's also a sensational display of the most talented singers and dancers in the chorus of shows, known as "gypsies." Awards are presented to the top fundraisers and for the best presentation during the two performances.

Last year, Gypsy of the Year raised $3,776,720, pushing the competition's 22-year total to $44,136,720.

Advance tickets to Gypsy of the Year can be purchased online at www.broadwaycares.org or by calling 212.840.0770 , ext. 268. VIP and Priority tickets are $350 and $200, respectively, and other tickets are available at $110, $40 and $20.

Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS is one of the nation's leading industry-based, nonprofit AIDS fundraising and grant-making organizations. By drawing upon the talents, resources and generosity of the American theatre community, since 1988 BC/EFA has raised more than $195 million for essential services for people with AIDS and other critical illnesses across the United States.
BC/EFA awards annual grants to more than 400 AIDS and family service organizations nationwide and is the major supporter of seven programs at The Actors Fund, including the HIV/AIDS Initiative, the Phyllis Newman Women's Health Initiative and the Al Hirschfeld Free Health Clinic.
