Overview

  • Organizers announced Wednesday that the one-night show will play New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom on June 21 with performances at 9:30 p.m. and midnight.
  • More than 200 New York dancers will deliver espionage-inspired numbers in the annual fundraiser.
  • Tickets start at $75, with VIP options that add table seating, unlimited cocktails, backstage tours, a private party with creator Jerry Mitchell, and access to the final rehearsal.
  • Kellen Stancil directs with Paula DeLuise as associate director and Savannah Joy Cobb as assistant director, with Jerry Mitchell and Nick Kenkel serving as executive producers.
  • The event benefits Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, following last year’s $2.44 million haul that pushed the show’s lifetime total to about $31.1 million.
