Playbill.com's new feature series, Their Favorite Things, asks members of the theatre community to share the Broadway performances that most affected them as part of the audience.

This week we spotlight the choices of Tony winner Phyllis Newman, whose annual fundraiser, Nothing Like a Dame, a benefit for the Phyllis Newman Women's Health Initiative, will be presented March 26 at 7:30 PM at The Gerald Lynch Theatre in Manhattan.

The theme of this year's Dame is "Their Favorite Things," based on this feature series. "Through engaging stories and songs, favorite performers from stage and screen will take the audience on a tour of their favorite shows and performances, highlighting those unforgettable nights in the theatres that have that influenced their careers," according to The Actors Fund.
