On Monday, September 12th at 9:30, some of Broadway's best will join producer Scott Alan at the Duplex (61 Christopher Street) to raise funds for Ten-in-Ten, a program which aims to raise $10,000 dollars in 10 days for the American Red Cross. The money raised from September 6-15 will be matched by corporate sponsors and donated to the American Red Cross.

Scheduled to appear at the Duplex are Kerry Butler (Little Shop of Horrors, Hairspray), Felicia Finley (Aida, The Life), Marty Thomas (Wicked, "Star Search"), Rashad Naylor (Hairspray), Jenny Powers (Little Women), Lauren Thomas (Piece), Sara Schmidt (Jersey Boys, Brooklyn), Nikki Renee Daniels (Nine, Aida), Natalie Joy Johnson (Bare), and Julie Garnye (Hair, Chess concerts), who is also the founder of the Ten-in-Ten relief fund.

There is no cover and no drink minimum. Those planning to attend the concert are asked only to bring their checkbooks for donations. The concert will follow this Monday's edition of Monday Nights New Voices, the series that pairs up-and-coming performing talents with established composers, lyricists and stars such as Stephen Schwartz, Andrew Lippa and Sutton Foster. The 7 PM concert will be hosted by Finley, soon to be seen in the new Broadway musical The Wedding Singer. Among those scheduled to perform are Mamma Mia!'s Sara Kramer, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee's Kate Wetherhead, Little Women's Julie Foldesi and Jersey Boys' Michael Longoria as well as Ellyn Marsh and Charly Seamon. Ragtime and Dessa Rose composer Stephen Flaherty will also be part of the evening. Barbara Anselmi (The Audience, Das Barbecu, tick tick...BOOM) will serve as the musical director for both that evening and for Ten-in-Ten. 

To make a reservation, call (212) 255-5438.
