Summary

Benefit performance featuring songs, dances, and comedy sketches. Performers from Broadway and Off-Broadway musicals compete to create the most original Easter Bonnet, with the results presented at the conclusion of each act. The proceeds from the event go to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
One musical number in this show is devoted to the history of the Imperial Theatre, featuring a medley of songs from Broadway musicals which have been staged at this venue; another number pokes fun at the legal woes of producer Garth Drabinsky.
