MCC Theater's Miscast gala, featuring Jonathan Groff, Constantine Maroulis, Megan Hilty and Jan Maxwell, was held March 26 at the Hammerstein Ballroom.

The annual benefit brings together Broadway stars to perform songs from shows and roles in which they'd never be cast.

The 6:30 PM evening, hosted by Lewis Black, also honored the authors of the musical Carrie —Academy Award-winning composer Michael Gore, Academy Award-winning lyricist Dean Pitchford and screenwriter Lawrence D. Cohen — for their "bold, daring, risk-taking spirit."
