Mitchell was doubly honored with Tony nods this year--for both La Cage and for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.  His choreography for Hairspray, The Full Monty and Never Gonna Dance also led to Tony, Drama Desk and Astaire Award nominations.  His other Broadway credits include the 2003 Bernadette Peters revival of Gypsy, Imaginary Friends, The Rocky Horror Show, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, and Grease.  As an actor, Mitchell appeared in The Will Rogers Follies, On Your Toes and Brigadoon, as well as handling the fight choreography for Three Men on a Horse.  For film, he has contributed dance sequences to In & Out, Camp, Drop Dead Gorgeous and Scent of a Woman, and is the conceiver, director and choreographer of the annual Broadway Bares series for BC/EFA.

A man of many talents, Rudetsky has teamed up with The Actor's Fund as Artistic Producer, conductor and musical director on star-studded productions of Hair, Chess, Funny Girl and the Dreamgirls 20th Anniversary Concert. Rudetsky filmed five episodes of All My Children last year as Rudy the choreographer opposite Susan Lucci and entertained wildly enthusiastic audiences in his long running Off-Broadway, GLAAD-nominated hit Rhapsody in Seth, which he originally developed at Ars Nova. As a pit pianist and conductor, Rudetsky has leant his talents to over 15 Broadway shows, including 42nd Street, The Full Monty, Phantom of the Opera, Mamma Mia! and The Producers. Rudetsky was part of the three-time Emmy-nominated comedy writing team for The Rosie O'Donnell Show and wrote the lyrics and opening numbers of the 1998 and 2000 Tony Awards shows.

In addition to the $10 donation, a two-drink minimum is required.

Don't Tell Mama is located in New York City on West 46th Street, between Eighth and Ninth Avenues. For reservations, call (212) 757-0788.
