Photo Coverage: ON THE TOWN's Megan Fairchild Crowned Honorary Miss Subways at Ellen's Stardust Diner

Earlier today, Ellen Hart of Ellen's Stardust Diner (1650 Broadway) hosted a reunion of real former Miss Subways- a position which Ellen herself once held. During that luncheon, On The Town's Megan Fairchild, who plays Ivy Smith or "Miss Turnstiles" in the musical, was crowned as a new honorary Miss Subways. Following the luncheon, the former Miss Subways travelled down to the Lyric Theatre on 42nd street for a matinee of On The Town. BroadwayWorld brings you photos from inside the special event below!
