May 30 Leading Men Concert Features Jackson, Morrison, Rodriguez, Sieber, Tartaglia and More

Cheyenne Jackson, Matthew Morrison, Jai Rodriguez, Christopher Sieber and John Tartaglia will be featured in the first 'The Leading Men' benefit concert for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS on Monday, May 30, at 7 p.m. at Joe's Pub at the Public Theatre.

Tartaglia, the Tony-nominated star of 'Avenue Q,' will emcee, and Seth Rudetsky, the Bistro Award-winning host of 'Seth's Broadway Chatterbox,' will be the musical director. The concert's current lineup will spotlight Broadway and cabaret stars who have been profiled in Wayman Wong's 'The Leading Men' column at Playbill.com. Sharing the bill will be Tom Andersen, Scott Coulter, Tim Di Pasqua, Tom D'Angora, Brian and Ted Farley, Barrett Foa and Danny Gurwin. Alan Muraoka will direct.

Wong, who organized and came up with the idea of the concert, says, 'In January 2003, Playbill.com first asked me to start 'The Leading Men' column to showcase the great guys of Broadway and cabaret. By June 2005, we figure that we'll have interviewed 100 of them. What better way to celebrate that landmark than to feature a dozen of those terrific talents and raise money for a great cause? It ought to be a blast.'

Tickets are priced at $40 and available at (212) 539-8778. Joe's Pub is located at 425 Lafayette Street.
