A cast of Broadway and downtown divas and divos pay tribute to Judy Garland.

And it's a tribute for the Ali Forney Center for homeless LGBT youth.

Here's video of Tonya Pinkins rehearsing "By Myself" and Andrea McArdle rehearsing "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows."

You know I'll be there. Here's hoping Cole Escola does the entire Born in a Trunk sequence.

Cole could actually fit inside one.

Can't wait for this! It's an amazing line up.

Sounds wonderful...Love Miss Tonya...Wish I could be there...Please just keep Tracie Bennett away from that show.

Ms. Bennett will be unable to attend, but rumor has it Flotilla DeBarge will be doing her spot-on Tracie Bennett imitation.

Well, that was a lot of fun (though Andrea McArdle was conspiciously absent, the rehearsal video notwithstanding).

There were a bunch of wonderful performances, and not to slight anyone, but Molly Pope nearly took the roof off the place with her "Chicago."

It was a wonderfully fun night...and yes. Molly was extraordinary.

Wow! Just watched Molly's video! What a voice! Thank you so much for posting. I so wish I could have seen the show.

Maybe Molly Pope needs her own thread, but I can't resist posting my favorite video of her.
"I Happen to Like New York"

Thanks Reg! That's a great video too. Living in north Florida, I haven't heard about her. I will watch more videos and try to find out more about her. She's incredibly talented and definitely knows how to command a stage!
