Two standing ovations and a packed house greeted Tony and Grammy Award-nominee Phillip Boykin as he joined a slew of stars to salute a Century of Broadway Showstoppers in GIVE MY REGARDS TO BROADWAY! on Saturday, May 11, 2013, 7:30 pm, at the Morris Museum's Bickford Theatre, 6 Normandy Heights Road, in Morristown, NJ. Scroll down for photos from the benefit below!

This annual Bickford Guild fundraiser saluted the last 100 years on the Great White Way with show-stopping selections from such classic Broadway musicals as A Chorus Line, Mame, West Side Story, Gypsy, Funny Girl, Hello, Dolly!, Annie Get Your Gun, Cats, The Phantom of the Opera, Jersey Boys, Cinderella and many more. Audiences enjoyed over twenty hits including Mr. Boykin's renditions of the classics, "I Got Plenty o' Nuttin," "Ol' Man River" and "Honeysuckle Rose."

Phillip Boykin most-recently starred on Broadway opposite five-time Tony Award-winner Audra McDonald in The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess. He was joined by numerous Broadway and national touring stars including Gary Mauer (Les Miserables and The Phantom of the Opera), Elizabeth Southard (The Phantom of the Opera), Julie Waldman-Stiel (The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber), and returning Bickford Theatre favorites including Gwendolyn F. Jones (Mother Superior in Nunsense), Kristen Michelle (Sister Amnesia in Nunsense), Daniel Vissers (I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change), Susan Speidel (The Best of Times), Mark Montague and Jennifer Montague (Some Enchanted Evening). Special Guest performers included David Murgittroyd, Rasha Jay and Tracey Turner Turano, who also provided musical staging. Peter Candela (Disney's The Lion King) served as Music Director.

GIVE MY REGARDS TO BROADWAY! was written, directed and produced by Stephen Kantrowitz and Jodi Chekofsky, who returned to helm the Bickford Theatre Guild fundraiser for the fifth consecutive year.
