After playing at Joe’s Pub last Monday night, Lauren Elder, Allison Guinn, Anthony Hollock, and I headed across Manhattan to perform at Duplex on Christopher St. Check out the article and photos on BroadwayWorld.com:

BroadwayWorld.com – Photo Flash: Broadway Speaks Out: Live At The Duplex

On Monday, January 19th, 2009, MGC Productions hosted the star-studded event, Broadway Speaks Out: Live at The Duplex.

Broadway Speaks Out is an online talk show that features Broadway performers speaking out about how their careers have influenced the LGBT community.

The evening featured Anthony Hollock and Allison Guinn (Hair), Brian Charles Rooney (The Three Penny Opera), Hannah Shankman (RENT), Rob DiCaterino (me), Michael Burbach, Elliot Roth (Our Sinatra) and Jenn Lederer, both of whom are in the upcoming production of Midwtwenties:The Show. The concert also had a special guest appearance by internationally known drag performer, Sherry Vine.

Martin Gould Cummings, the artistic director and founder of MGC Productions, hosted the evening. MGC Productions is a fiscally sponsored theater company founded by Martin Gould Cummings and his partner Anthony Hollock. Their goal is to bring the LGBT cause to the forefront through theater, media, and music.

MGC Productions will be producing its first stage production, Midtwenties:The Show, at Manhattan Theatre Source on March 1-3.

For the finale, I performed The Beatles song “Revolution” with Lance Horne on piano, Josh Giunta on drums, and some members of the upcoming Broadway cast of Hair on vocals: Lauren Elder, Allison Guinn, and Anthony Hollock. Stephanie D’Abruzzo and Lea DeLaria joined us on stage to sing during the last few choruses.

Other performers that night included John Cameron Mitchell, Justin Bond, Jessica Kirson, Holcombe Waller, and Michael Urie from the TV show Ugly Betty.

It was a lot of fun and I’m excited to play more gigs!
