Directed by McGonnigal and Xanadu's Marty Thomas, with Music Direction by Ben Cohn, "Broadway Loves the 80's Vol. 3" took place on Sunday, August 10 at 9:30PM at Joe's Pub, 425 Lafayette Street, NY. The totally rad host of the past two concerts, Mo Rocca (Spelling Bee, VH1's I Love the 80s) returned for this 3rd Sold Out incarnation!

The evening showcased Nick Adams (A Chorus Line), Adinah Alexander (Wicked), Chris Dilley (Kinsey Six), Mandy Gonzalez (In The Heights), Kyle Dean Massey (Xanadu), Kenita R. Miller (Xanadu), Alysha Umphress, Casey Clark and Natalie Weiss, Nikki Renee Daniels (Les Miserables), Eden Espinosa (Rent, Wicked), Anthony Rapp (Rent) and Ugly Betty's Michael Urie and Becki Newton.

The Broadway Loves the 80s band featured Ben Cohn on keys, Dan Weiner on drums, Michael Blanco on bass and Mike Aarons on guitar.

A portion of the concert proceeds benefited The Flood 2008 Fund of The Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation for flood relief and recovery donations. One-hundred percent of financial donations to the fund will support Linn County in its recovery from the June 2008 flood. The first priority of the fund is to allocate grants to nonprofit organizations to provide families and individuals basic assistance to reestablish stable living after the June 2008 flood.
