I just got this email and I thought I'd share it with everyone:
Don't miss your chance to purchase tickets to Born for Broadway, a one-night musical event benefiting the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.
The first annual Born for Broadway benefit will be held Monday, June 22nd at 8:00 p.m. at New World Stages, 340 West 50th Street, NYC. Directed by Marcia Milgrom Dodge, (just back from directing "Ragtime" at the Kennedy Center in DC) with musical direction by Larry Yurman ("Grey Gardens"), Born for Broadway is a one-night celebrity cabaret, featuring both established Broadway performers as well as undiscovered talent. Hosted by actor and comedian, Richard Kind, proceeds will benefit the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.
Born for Broadway first began as a student-sponsored musical revue at Marymount Manhattan College, where event founder, Sarah Galli, was enrolled as a performance major. Galli founded the event as a way to combine her two passions; her love for theatre (a community equally beloved by Christopher and Dana Reeve) and her desire to raise funds for spinal cord research. Galli's brother was spinal cord injured 11 years ago and is now a high level quadriplegic.

Ticket prices range from $50 to $100 and are on sale now through Telecharge: www.telecharge.com.
