About Sparkle - Sparkle: An All-Star Holiday Concert began when TV personality and host Scott Nevins had the desire to present a "small holiday concert" in Palm Springs, CA to help raise funds for a worthy organization. The event received an overwhelmingly positive response, quickly moving to a much larger venue, and earning 4 consecutive sold-out years as the holiday musical event of the season in the desert. Nevins then expanded on the idea by producing very successful all-star versions of the show in New York City and Los Angeles, both benefiting the programs and services of The Actors Fund. Past events have featured such legendary showbiz names as Carol Channing, Florence Henderson, Lorna Luft, Mitzi Gaynor, Jo Ann Worley, Harvey Fierstein, Richard Kind and Richard Simmons, as well as a slew of today's brightest TV, Broadway, film and recording stars including many Tony, Emmy, Golden Globe and GrammyAward winners.
