Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb discussed BC/EFA Easter Bonnet Competition and Jane Fonda in 33 Variations on the Today Show this morning. 33 Variations took all three top honors: for bonnet presentation, bonnet design and top Broadway fundraiser. 

Jane Fonda and the company of 33 VARIATIONS raised a total of $183,546.

The total raised by 33 VARIATIONS marks the most money ever raised by a play in the history of BC/EFA EASTER BONNET COMPETITION.

Jane Fonda and the company of 33 VARIATIONS also won the Easter Bonnet Award for best presentation. The skit featured Jane and The Cast of 33 VARIATIONS in a mock rehearsal that led into a "Jane Fonda Workout" circa 1980, complete with neon, spandex and leg warmers.

The 23rd ANNUAL EASTER BONNET COMPETITION was a great success with $3,402,147 being raised this year by the 58 participating Broadway, Off-Broadway, and National Tour companies to benefit Broadway Cares/ Equity Fights AIDS. Since it began in 1987, 23 editions of the Annual Easter Bonnet Competition have raised nearly $39 million for BC/EFA.

Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS presented the 23rd Annual Easter Bonnet Competition on Monday, April 27 and Tuesday, April 28 at the Minskoff Theatre (200 West 45th Street). The proceeds from the event benefited BC/EFA.
