On July 14th, 2008 the New York Musical Theatre Festival (Isaac Robert Hurwitz, Executive Director and Producer) presented a Guitar Hero benefit tournament featuring Broadway celebrities at Stitch Bar and Lounge (247 West 37th Street). Performers/Guitar Heroes appearing included Felicia Finley (The Wedding Singer), Alli Mauzey (Cry-Baby), John Selya (Damn Yankees, Movin' Out), Paul Stancato (Director/Chorographer) and Jason Tam (A Chorus Line), among many others.
 
The New York Musical Theatre Festival's Guitar Hero benefit tournament will include a celebrity mini-tournament in which Broadway celebrities will play for the title of Supreme NYMF Guitar Hero. Fans will be able to play for $5 per turn.

The event took place at Stitch Bar and Lounge, 247 West 37th Street (between 7th and 8th Avenue).

All proceeds from the event will benefit the New York Musical Theatre Festival, the largest musical theatre event in America. Hailed as "the Sundance of musical theatre," NYMF will present 24 new musicals, in addition to dance, concert and cabaret performances at various venues in Manhattan, as part the 5th annual season from September 15 through October 5, 2008.  For more information, visit www.nymf.org.
