The evening honors the memory of Camille Fuoco, who many remember from the Metropolitan Room where Joseph Macchia, her son, worked for many years. Ms. Fuoco passed away from Stage 4 Breast Cancer on July 30th 2019. Her nurse, Kious Kelly, is thought to be the first frontline worker to die of Covid, in March 2020.

Janet is currently a Nurse Manager at Mount Sinai West Hospital, NYC.

Janet has been an active member of the Philippine Nurses Association of New York and is the incoming President 2022-2024.

 

There will be a special performance in memory of Broadway actress/singer Doreen Montalvo, who hosted the first One Heart One Cure concert in 2019. Doreen appeared on Broadway in In The Heights, On Your Feet and Mrs. Doubtfire, and passed away unexpectedly in October 2020. A surrogate sister to Joseph Macchia, she is greatly missed.

 

In addition to the above mentioned performers (subject to change), the evening includes performances by David Auxier-Loyola, Joshua J. Bennett, Ty Stephens, Sandra Marante (Stonewall The Opera, In The Heights), D'Vorah Bailey (Candide), William Candelario, Mary Seides, MAC Award winners Wendy Scherl and Aaron Lee Battle, Karen Burthwright (Jesus Christ Superstar 2012 B’way revival, Paradise Square), Mauricio Martinez (On Your Feet, Beauty and The Beast, Mexico) with more performers to be announced.

 

Joseph Macchia is a floral designer and event producer who was a talent booking manager at The Metropolitan Room until it closed in 2017. For many years he has managed the charity he founded, Help is on the Way Today, dedicated to assisting children with HIV. The charity provides back-to-school backpacks and supplies, Christmas toy drives, and funding for immediate or special needs.

Hi

I am looking to sell some of my Broadway memorabilia. Suggestions on where the best place to sell it is.

 

 

 

Hi

I am looking for a piece of Broadway memorabilia, I am looking for framed Broadway Sheet music from Jekyll and Hyde. Does anyone know where I can purchase something like this?

 

The Show is amazing! The pictures don't do it justice, and we have to remember they needed something that goes on and off quickly. In the movie they can stop and start, here they can't. In tootsie he just had a wig and makeup no mask from what I saw. The show is a loving tribute to the movie while standing on its own.
