What are your favorite skits/presentations from Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS Easter Bonnet ceremonies of recent yore? I was wanting to do this about a couple weeks ago (which is when it's normally held), but forgot about it.

I cannot stop laughing at how clever the Avenue Q skits were, year after year. "Avenue Jew" with the '04 cast of Fiddler on the Roof was to die for. I also loved their 2016 "In Memoriam," in which the cast/puppets sang Boyz II Men's "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday" as Gary Coleman revealed some of the things we lost so far that year, including Chris Christie's presidential campaign, "American Idol," and Jonathan Groff in Hamilton.

Max von Essen and Brandon Uranowitz doing "Turn It Off, Seriously" was hilarious. So was the Yiddish Fiddler's "Broadway in Yiddish?", capped off by director Joel Grey singing "Git op mayn grus tsu Brodvey."

Share your recent faves below.

Avenue Q spoofing the Lion King in 2015. I still laugh just thinking about it. I also happened to be sitting across the aisle from Judith Light - I still remember her reaction when her name (and gigantic headshot) came up during their skit. Priceless.

Hands down my favorite.  I watch it all the time.

Their 2015 skit was also a great one from the moment Trekkie Monster started singing. "SCHAAAAAADENFREUDEEEE BABA BOOBIES BABAR."
