Rock and roll radio legend Bruce "Cousin Brucie" Morrow is the latest edition to the upcoming benefit concert "Rockers on Broadway Salutes Motown."  Morrow will be joined on stage by the evening's host, actress/comedian Caroline Rhea (TV's The Biggest Loser) and a line up of world famous recording stars and Broadway performers.  The one night only event will take place on Monday October 22 at 8PM at BB Kings Blues Club and Grill on West 42nd Street, and will benefit Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS and Wingspan Arts. 

A member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame since 1988, Bruce Morrow was born in Brooklyn, NY.  He adopted the moniker "Cousin Brucie" in 1959, while working at WINS/New York. In August of 1965, he had the distinction of introducing the Beatles during their historic Shea Stadium concert.  In 1994, he became the only on-air personality in New York with his own street, when Mayor Rudolph Giuliani proclaimed West 52nd Street "Cousin Brucie Way."  Cousin Brucie can currently be heard weekly on Sirius Satellite Radio's "60's Vibrations."

After a smash success last winter Donnie Kehr, Cori Gardner and The Path Fund, Inc's Rockers on Broadway concert is back with the latest edition – "Rockers on Broadway Salutes Motown."

Returning to host duties is actress/comedian Caroline Rhea (TV's "The Biggest Loser") who will share the stage with a line of legendary rockers and some of the biggest names working on Broadway today.  The evening, which is directed by Jersey Boys cast member Donnie Kehr and choreographed by Wayne Cilento (Wicked) and Kelly Devine (Jersey Boys) pays homage will feature performances by legends Darlene Love (Hairspray) and La La Brooks (Hair), Micky Dolenz from The Monkees, the "original pop princess" Deborah Gibson, singer songwriter Kate Taylor, three of the four leads from Jersey BoysDaniel Reichard, J. Robert Spencer and 2006 Tony winner Christian Hoff, Grammy nominated Tevin Campbell (Hairspray), Tony nominee Daphne Rubin Vega (Rent) , Krisha Marcano (The Color Purple), Renee Elise Goldsberry (The Color Purple, The Lion King), Will Chase (High Fidelity, The Full Monty), Michael Lanning (The Civil War, Trans Siberian Orchestra), Kris Coleman (Jersey Boys), John Eric Parker (All Shook Up, Rent) and Anika Ellis (The Color Purple, Sweet Charity).

This edition of "Rockers on Broadway" will also include a special appearance by the legendary Motown songwriting team Holland-Dozier-Holland ("Heat Wave", "How Sweet It Is", "Where Did Our Love Go?") joined by Broadway vet, writer Rupert Holmes (Curtains), who are currently collaborators on the new musical The First Wives Club. 

Rockers on Broadway was founded by Donnie Kehr in 1993 during the Broadway run of The Who's Tommy, in which he appeared. Inspired by an idea from Pete Townshend, he wanted to give musical theatre performers the opportunity to experience the feeling of singing with a rock band in a concert style venue, so they could understand and transfer the rawness of that edge to the stage. 

Rockers on Broadway will take place on Monday, October 22 at 8PM at BB King Blues Club & Grill (237 West 42nd Street).  Tickets, on sale now at the BB King Box Office or at ticketmaster.com, are $1200 (VIP Reserved table for 8), $900 (VIP Reserved table for 6), $150 (General Admission Floor Seating), $75 (General Admission Balcony Seating), $35 (Standing Room – day-of purchases only and only at box office).  For more info visit www.rockersonbroadway.com.
