Last night was so much fun. Michael Lavine knows everything... he had a story about every song/show. The highlight of the evening was when Julia Murney rocked the house with a song that was cut from The Wild Party. The break from Wicked has done her voice good! Also, Marty Thomas was great - can't wait to see him and Julia in Saved. I also really loved the beautiful song from "Was" (which I guess there is a book that the show was based on that is supposed to be really good). Lea Michele and Landon Beard sang a cute song and Anna Ty Bergman was very good. Also, loved the very hot quartet of guys singing a song from Oh Brother. The evening also included a raffle of some gay porn...... and some flop posters. They auctioned off a signed Rags poster for $100 and a Carrie poster for $300. Overall, very fun evening at Joe's Pub!

Anthony wasn't there...

Ah, then that's why he wasn't in the post. He was listed in one of the Playbill articles.

Yeah, I was kind of upset that he didn't show...but Julia Murney was so fantastic. She blew the roof off the place. I'm glad Michael Lavine put her at the end of the concert. Overall, a fantastic evening. I'm so glad I went.

Hey there,

Glad you had fun last night! We had a lot of fun putting it together.

It's always really difficult when performers back out because of illness or other commitments, etc. And certainly a challenge at the last minute (which is why I have a lot of compassion for the organizers of tonight's Sondheim concert).

Here's the list that we had backstage...bwayrocks got it mostly right which is more than I could say for myself last night!

Thanks again for coming!

John Tartaglia – My Life is in Boxes (Avenue Q)

Marty Thomas – The Last Record Store on Earth (High Fidelity)

Max von Essen – She is (Life With Father)

Wayne Wilcox – I’ve Got a Dream to Sleep On (Angel)

Burke Moses – Home Blues (Showgirl)

David Burtka – What I Say Goes (A Family Affair)

Natalie Venetia Belcon – There Must Be Something Better... (Arms & The Girl)

John Tartaglia – Time (Avenue Q)

Michael L - Crazy Piano (Reds)

Michael – Loop the Loop (Chicago)

Jennifer Hope Wills – Here’s That Rainy Day (Carnival in Flanders)

Jamie – Time (Was)

Randy Redd – Fun (Arthur)

Lea Michele & Landon Beard – Slightly Perfect (Are You With It?)

Anna Ty Bergman – I Fell in Love on a Saturday (In The Heights)

Weren't they supposed to sing something from "Carrie"? It was advertised as such on playbill.

Michael Levine? or Michael Lavine?

there is a difference and I had no idea that THE "sheet music man" was a performer! if I am thinking of the same wonderful man...

Looking forward to the next McBenefit.

After seeing Jennifer Hope Wills Singing "Here’s That Rainy Day," I really hope she stays around and becomes a star!
