Now is your chance to hear Broadway's finest tackle gender reversed songs of musical theatre," according to press notes.At press time, those scheduled to appear include: Cheyenne Jackson (All Shook Up, Aida, film United 93), Karen Mason (Mamma Mia!, Sunset Boulevard, And the World Goes Round), Michelle Blakely (Grease, Annie Get Your Gun), Kathryn Kendall (Jerome Robbins' Broadway, 42nd Street), Michael McElroy (Tony-nominee Big River, The Wild Party, Rent) , Harvey Evans (Follies, West Side Story, Sunset Boulevard, Anyone Can Whistle), Andrea Burns (Parade, Songs for a New World, The Full Monty), Lee Roy Reams (Tony-nominee 42nd Street, Hello Dolly, Applause, La Cage aux Folles), Julie Wilson (Tony-nominee Legs Diamond, Kismet, Pajama Game), Charles Busch (Tony-nominee The Tale of the Allergist's Wife, Psycho Beach Party).Videos
