The 2025 GMHC Cabaret & Howard Ashman Award at Joe's Pub

Join us at the 2025 GMHC Cabaret & Howard Ashman Award on Monday, February 10, 2025, at Joe's Pub in NYC, as we honor Broadway legends Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.

We are beyond thrilled to present the Howard Ashman Award to Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, the award winning songwriters behind favorites such as “Hairspray,” “SMASH,” and “Some Like It Hot.” 

Their collaborations have won the pair Tony, Grammy, and Emmy Awards, as well as Academy Award nominations. Stars they've worked with span the gamut from Patti LuPone, Bette Midler, and Martin Short, to Mariah Carey, Jennifer Hudson, and Sarah Jessica Parker! 

With careers so rich, the night is sure to be one for the books.

The GMHC Cabaret is a star-studded event featuring Broadway stars and celebrities performing musical selections. The evening includes the Howard Ashman Award, named for the Oscar and Grammy winning lyricist who passed away in 1991 from AIDS-related complications.
