Several theatre favorites took part in the sixth annual benefit for Only Make Believe, the charity that brings musical theatre to ill children.

The Nov. 6 concert, simply titled Only Make Believe, boasted the talents of Donny Osmond, Euan Morton, Felicia P. Fields, Liz McCartney, Merle Dandridge, David Bryan, Christine Pedi and world-renowned acrobats KENiMATTix with direction by Joe DiPietro and musical direction by Jason Debord. The 7:30 PM evening at the Millennium Hotel's Hudson Theatre, hosted by Kathie Lee Gifford, also featured the presentation of the 2006 James Hammerstein Award to Peace One Day founder Jeremy Gilley.
