In celebration of this season's best and brightest Broadway productions, Macy's and the Tony Awards hosted a "Sing For Your Tony Tickets" talent competition at locations nationwide, followed by finals at the World's Largest Store, Macy's Herald Square. Aspiring Broadway stars got a shot to earn their way to this year's hottest ticket in town – the 2008 Tony Awards!
On Friday, June 13 at 5PM, Broadway devotees were invited razzle-dazzle their favorite tune for celebrity judges including Tony Award® nominee Kerry Butler and screen veteran Tony Roberts, now appearing in Xanadu; surprise guest hosts from The 39 Steps; plus the one and only "Tony Campaign Manager" Cubby Bernstein. Entrants were given the option to perform from a list of pre-selected songs.Photos by Peter James Zielinski
