The evening, set to begin at 7 PM, benefits Rosie's Theater Kids and features Emmy Award-winning TV host and actress (and RTKids founder) Rosie O'Donnell — who will receive the Isabelle Stevenson Award at the 2014 Tony Awards for her work with RTKids — alongside the students in a re-imagined, percussive version of "Rhythm of Life."

Additionally, Tony winner Shuler Hensley sings Stephen Sondheim's "Agony" with one of RTKids' baritones; Footloose choreographer Lynne Taylor-Corbett creates a piece for RTKids youngest level boys and the men from ABT Studio Company to "Holding Out for a Hero"; Mamie Duncan-Gibbs appears with the students in a Fosse-style production number mentored by Chet Walker; and acclaimed tap dancer Deborah Mitchell (Black and Blue) performs a duet with an RTKids hoofer.

American choreographer and director Birch began her career as a dancer in Broadway musicals, including Brigadoon, Goldilocks and West Side Story, and as a soloist with Martha Graham and Agnes de Mille. She earned Tony Award nominations for her choreography of the original Broadway productions of Grease, Over Here!, Pacific Overtures, Music Is and Parade. Birch has directed and choreographed music videos for Cyndi Lauper, the Rolling Stones and Carly Simon and also choreographed numbers on "Saturday Night Live" for six years.

Passing It On: An Evening of Mentorship, according to press notes, "not only provides an exciting opportunity for the students to collaborate with some of Broadway's great talents, but also allows them to be part of a true ensemble."
