Photos: MAMMA MIA! National Tour Cast Performs Benefit Concert

On Monday evening April 13th, cast members from the Broadway National Tour of "Mamma Mia" traded in their spandex and platform shoes for loofas and shower caps at "Shower Songs - Guilty Pleasures from Bathrooms Across the Country" a one night only benefit concert for Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS. This eclectic evening of songs with music directed by Bill Congdon took place at West Hollywood's iconic venue The Abbey (629 N Robertson Blvd, West Hollywood, CA) at 8PM and featured a special performance by the legendary Candis Cayne (Dirty Sexy Money).

"Shower Songs..." treated the audience to an evening of songs that cast members usually only sing in the privacy of their own showers. The guilty musical pleasures ran the gamut of songs from Celine Dion to Tina Turner.
