The weekly live talkfest, which includes interviews and performances from Broadway stars, is held at 6 PM at the New York cabaret Don't Tell Mama. There is a $10 donation and a two-drink minimum. The donation goes directly to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, the nation's leading industry-based, not-for-profit AIDS fundraising and grant-making organization. Lopez and Marx, who wrote music and lyrics for Avenue Q, began writing the puppet-friendly musical in the BMI Workshop. The new musical, which is currently playing Broadway's Golden Theatre, originated Off Broadway at the Vineyard Theatre, where it won the 2003 Lucille Lortel Award for Best Musical. The writing team's other works include a proposed new Muppet movie titled "Kermit, Prince of Denmark," two children's musicals for Theatreworks/USA and several songs that aired on the Disney Channel.

Creator and host of Seth's Broadway Chatterbox, Seth Rudetsky has served as a pit pianist and/or conductor for such Broadway shows as 42nd Street, The Full Monty, The Phantom of the Opera, Mamma Mia! and The Producers. He also conceived the idea for the recent all-star Chess concert to benefit the Actors' Fund of America as well as the two previous benefit concerts, Funny Girl and Dreamgirls. Rudetsky was a member of the comedy writing team for "The Rosie O'Donnell Show" for two years, and his awards include the Duplex's Stars of Tomorrow, the Backstage Bistro and the Funniest Gay Male in New York. He was also the author and star of the recent one man, GLAAD-nominated show Rhapsody in Seth.
