Todd Schroeder to Musical Direct National Breast Cancer Coalition's Les Girls 15 Benefit Gala

Musical director, composer and performer Todd Schroeder has been tapped to musical direct the National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund's Les Girls 15 Benefit for his fourth year, it was announced today by his manager Michael Nicklin of Vortexian Talent Management.

Set to take place at Hollywood's iconic Avalon nightclub on Sunday, October 11, the 15th Annual celebrity-studded Les Girls Cabaret Benefit will once again continue the tradition of presenting a sexy, witty and fun evening with a bevy of song and dance numbers for a great cause. For the past 14 years the event has steadily gained support in the Hollywood community, raising funds for the Coalition's goal of eradicating breast cancer by the year 2020. This year, the benefit will honor philanthropist Joyce Brandman.

One of the industry's most sought-after musical directors, Schroeder has worked closely in the past with myriad talent who have appeared and performed at NBCC's annual fundraising gala, which has included such television luminaries as Gina Torres ("Suits," "Hannibal"), Steven Weber ("NCIS: New Orleans"), Laura Bell Bundy ("Anger Management"), Wendie Malick ("Hot in Cleveland"), Peri Gilpin ("Frasier"), Eric McCormack ("Perception," "Will & Grace"), Ana Ortiz ("Devious Maids," "Ugly Betty"), Melissa Peterman ("Baby Daddy," "Reba") and Peter Gallagher ("Covert Affairs," Broadway's On The Twentieth Century)

Schroeder is often coveted as the go-to personal musical director to consummately skilled industry heavyweights from the worlds of television, stage and screen, and from Hollywood megastars to rock n' roll stars and Broadway royalty. Schroeder is also often called upon to musical direct many of the industry's most noteworthy multi-performer star-studded benefit events, based on his keen ability for working intimately with performers not normally known for their vocal prowess. The growing list of celebrity fundraiser benefits has included the Alzheimer's Association's "A Night at Sardi's" to "The Thalians," an all-star tribute benefit raising awareness for mental health, honoring the music of Motown legend Smokey Robinson; to the one-night-only "Benefit for the Philippines," which supported the American Red Cross' efforts to assist the people of the Philippines to recover and rebuild from the 2013 typhoon.
