This past Tuesday evening, May 22, the National Museum of American Jewish History held the 2018 Only in America Gala at the Mandarin Oriental in New York City. This event celebrated the legacy of legendary Maestro and Broadway composer Leonard Bernstein during his centennial year, and honored his children Jamie Bernstein, Alexander Bernstein, and Nina Bernstein Simmons.
Singer, comedian, and "Orange is the New Black" actress Lea DeLaria brought down the house with her jazzy performances of "Cool" (West Side Story) and "I Can Cook Too" (On The Town).
