From the BWW news desk:

"Cheyenne Jackson, Matthew Morrison, Jai Rodriguez, Christopher Sieber and John Tartaglia will be featured in the first ‘’The Leading Men’’ benefit concert for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS on Monday, May 30, at 7 p.m. at Joe’s Pub at the Public Theatre.

Tartaglia, the Tony-nominated star of ‘’Avenue Q,’’ will emcee, and Seth Rudetsky, the Bistro Award-winning host of ‘’Seth’s Broadway Chatterbox,’’ will be the musical director. The concert’s current lineup will spotlight Broadway and cabaret stars who have been profiled in Wayman Wong’s ‘’The Leading Men’’ column at Playbill.com. Sharing the bill will be Tom Andersen, Scott Coulter, Tim Di Pasqua, Tom D’Angora, Brian and Ted Farley, Barrett Foa and Danny Gurwin. Alan Muraoka will direct."

WOW...I think I just wet myself.

Can I volunteer to be the dresser at this event?

The truly beautiful should be lawfully restricted from wearing clothing; and the truly butt-ugly should be lawfully mandated from going naked.

In addition to performing musically, I think the cast of this concert should perform a dramatic and fully costumed reading from Take Me Out just to round out the evening.

Someone needs to make sure the towels are on properly before they remove them for their scene.

As long as I can do make up...certain areas will need to be shaded properly.

You can do make-up sure. I would also volunteer as fluffer for those that need some assistance before dropping the towel.

Well, perhaps it's a duty that must be dually supervised by both make-up and costume directors.

why dont you both agree to be "pre-show prep artists" a nice general term like that should make either of you game for any given needed task.

I would agree to that compromise.

Well I'v never heard of it.



And - not that I'm not all for the sexism - but don't you think it's a little sexist that Playbill would only have a column for leading men and that there's no column that's all about the sassy, belting divas?

Wow, is it sad that I'm seriously considering spending more money than I really have to spend to go into the city and see this? I'm trying to decide if the hottness is worth it.

Who am I kidding, I'm already trying to rearrange my funds.
