MCC's 'Miscast 2008' to Star O'Hara, Martin, Janney, Prince

MCC Theater is pleased to announce another all star line-up for the company's annual gala, to be held Monday, March 10, 2008 at The Hammerstein Ballroom (311 West 34th Street between 8th and 9th Avenues).

As in years past, Miscast 2008 will bring together the best and brightest Broadway talent as they perform songs from roles in which they would never be cast.  Lynn Redgrave, currently in MCC's production of Grace, will serve as the evening's Honorary Chair.  Broadway's Phil Reno provides musical direction.  MCC has announced that there are a limited number of "show only" tickets now available for $50.  All proceeds go directly to MCC's production, play development, education and outreach programs.

This year's event honors producers Jeffrey Richards and Jerry Frankel for their extraordinarily unique commitment to bringing provocative and daring works to mainstream New York theater audiences.  Richards and Frankel's prolific work is currently represented on Broadway by August: Osage County, Spring Awakening, The Homecoming and November.

The roster of performers for the evening includes Brian d'Arcy James, Allison Janney, Jesse L. Martin, Kelli O'Hara, Steven Pasquale, Patrick Wilson and Tony Award-winner Faith Prince, among many more to be announced.
