Photo Flash: Jonathan Groff Rehearses for MCC's MISCAST

In MCC Theater's annual Miscast gala, Broadway's hottest stars perform songs from roles in which they would never be cast. Check out a photo below of Broadway favorite Jonathan Groff rehearsing for the event, as featured on the MCC blog!

Each year, hundreds of guests and sponsors gather for this singular evening of cocktails, dinner, live and silent auctions, and, of course, the one-of-a-kind revue at the heart of the event.

Performers from past years include Norbert Leo Butz, Faith Prince, Cheyenne Jackson, Raúl Esparza, Kelli O'Hara, Brian d'Arcy James, Steven Pasquale, Jane Krakowski, and Jesse L. Martin. Special guests have included Helen Mirren, Chris Noth, Judith Light, Piper Perabo, Ian McShane, Edward Albee, Kathleen Turner, Julianna Margulies, Lynn Redgrave, Charles Busch, Rosemarie DeWitt, Billy Baldwin, Jerry Stiller, Elizabeth Ashley, Mo Rocca, Isaac Mizrahi, and many more.

Funds raised from Miscast help MCC Theater produce some of the most talked-about new
work Off-Broadway and support our Youth Company and in-school partnerships that serve New York City public high school students, as well as our literary development work with emerging playwrights.

Last year, Miscast 2011 celebrated MCC's 25th Anniversary season and honored a collection of MCC Theater alumni for the daring, risk-taking spirit they bring to the playmaking process including: Charles Busch, Norbert Leo Butz, Kathleen Chalfant, T.R. Knight, Swoosie Kurtz, Neil LaBute, Melissa Leo, Judith Light, Joe Mantello, Amanda Peet, Liev Schreiber and Marisa Tomei. The evening was hosted by Bravo TV's Andy Cohen.
