The Light in the Piazza's Matthew Morrison will head over to Seth's Broadway Chatterbox to discuss his role as Fabrizio Naccarelli and others on Thursday, June 23rd at 6 PM.

The weekly chat show, a Broadway institution for some years, features Broadway stars confiding stories to Rudetsky at Don't Tell Mama on Thursdays at 6 PM. The $10 donation benefits Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, the nation's leading industry-based, not-for-profit AIDS fundraising and grant-making organization.

Morrison received a 2005 Tony nomination as Best Featured Actor in a Musical for his performance as the romantic Florentine in The Light in the Piazza. He also was honored with an Outer Critics Circle nomination for originating the role of Link Larkin in Hairspray, and has also appeared on Broadway in Footloose (as well as its national tour) and The Rocky Horror Show. On screen, Morrison has been seen in Marci X and Primary Colors, as well as on "Hack" and "Sex on the City." He will appear as Sir Harry in the upcoming telemusical of Once Upon a Mattress (which was, fittingly enough, composed by Mary Rodgers, mother of Piazza composer Adam Guettel).

A man of many talents, Rudetsky has teamed up with The Actor's Fund as Artistic Producer, conductor and musical director on star-studded productions of Hair, Chess, Funny Girl and the Dreamgirls 20th Anniversary Concert. Rudetsky filmed five episodes of All My Children last year as Rudy the choreographer opposite Susan Lucci and entertained wildly enthusiastic audiences in his long running Off-Broadway, GLAAD-nominated hit Rhapsody in Seth, which he originally developed at Ars Nova. As a pit pianist and conductor, Rudetsky has leant his talents to over 15 Broadway shows, including 42nd Street, The Full Monty, Phantom of the Opera, Mamma Mia! and The Producers. Rudetsky was part of the three-time Emmy-nominated comedy writing team for The Rosie O'Donnell Show and wrote the lyrics and opening numbers of the 1998 and 2000 Tony Awards shows.

In addition to the $10 donation, a two-drink minimum is required.

Don't Tell Mama is located in New York City on West 46th Street, between Eighth and Ninth Avenues. For reservations, call (212) 757-0788. For more information, visit www.sethsbroadwaychatterbox.com.
