Last year Fran Drescher's Cocktail Cruise around Manhattan kicked off NYC Gay Pride Week and sold out with a huge crowd of celebrities including Patti LuPone, Jill Zarin, Patti Stanger, Thomas Roberts and Aviva Drescher and raised a great deal of dollars for her Cancer Schmancer Movement.

This year she once again is set to sail the high seas of the Hudson River aboard the S.S. Hornblower Infinity on Monday, June 20th this time with many of her celebrity and musical friends performing on a Sunset Cabaret Cruise. Live performances by Rosie O'Donnell, Christine Andreas, Stephanie Gibson, Randy Graff, Hunter Ryan Herdlicka, Peter Marc Jacobson, Faith Prince, Randy Roberts, and many more of Broadway and Hollywood's brightest stars. A special appearance by the Tony-nominated sisters who performed the theme to "The Nanny," Ann Hampton Callaway and Liz Callaway. Plus Ria Jones, who recently she stepped into the role of Norma Desmond in "Sunset Boulevard" after Glenn Close fell ill, sings the two showstoppers that made theater headlines around the world. VIPs enjoy reserved seating for the performance.

Food, drinks and fun will be provided and we hear it is THE major start to Gay Pride Week and an event not to be missed. After the show, we'll take off for a trip around the harbor to see the spectacular New York skyline like you've never seen it before. Music and dancing for the evening is provided by Donna D'Cruz.

Proceeds benefit the Cancer Schmancer Movement, which focuses on three prongs to fight the disease: early detection, prevention and advocacy. Fran joins this project with her LGBT advocacy expanding the fight for gay rights to include family health.
