Easter Sunday may have been March 30, but that didn't stop some of New York's finest performers from breaking out their finest bonnets a few weeks after the holiday for a great cause.
The annual Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS' (BC/EFA) Easter Bonnet competition drew the likes of Cyndi Lauper, Tom Hanks and Nathan Lane along with the casts of a number of hot shows currently packing crowds on the Great White Way. The event, now in its 27th year, raised a record $4,250,542 for the organization.
"Lucky Guy," which stars Hanks in his Broadway debut, took home the top fundraising award for its efforts, which raised $301,549. Meanwhile, the "Kinky Boots" company nabbed honors for best presentation, while an "Annie" vs. "Newsies" number was runner up.
BC/EFA's season is far from over, however. "Broadway Bares: Solo Strips" will see a dozen male dancers from "Annie," "Cinderella" and other smash musicals strip down at Manhattan's XL Nightclub, while "Broadway Bares: The United Strips of America" takes place on June 23 at the Roseland Ballroom.
