Feldshuh replaces the previously announced Gary Beach, who has withdrawn from the one-night-only event due to a scheduling conflict.

All Shook Up's Cheyenne Jackson and Chatterbox host Seth Rudetsky will judge the competition, which will be presented April 30 at 8 PM. Written and conceived by Jeffrey Self, the evening will feature direction by Ryan J. Davis with musical direction by Eric Svejcar. The competition will benefit the Ali Forney Center.

Contestants will include Nick Adams (Pirate Queen), Ward Billeisen (Curtains), Frankie James Grande (Mamma Mia!), Kenway Kua (Wicked), Tyler Maynard (Mary Poppins), Paul McGill (A Chorus Line), Arbender Robinson (Hairspray) and Nick Sanchez (Tarzan).

Contestants, according to a press release, "will compete for the title crown through talent, interview and swimsuit competitions. Each of the contestants will go head to head in front of celebrity judges [Jackson and Rudetsky] but ultimately, the final vote is in the audience's hands."

The pageant will boast original songs by The Drowsy Chaperone's Lisa Lambert, Glen Kelly, Caligula's Eric Svejcar, Ben Cohen and Sean McDaniel. Producers are Ryan J. Davis, Nick Malone and Jeffrey Self, in association with Tim Hur.
