The donation goes directly to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, the nation's leading industry-based, not-for-profit AIDS fundraising and grant-making organization.
Adam Guettel has been hailed by The New York Times as “a young composer of strength and sophistication.” His latest musical, The Light in the Piazza, is a fairy tale romance about the love affair of an American woman — who is not all that she seems — with an Italian man in Florence. Piazzarecently debuted at Seattle’s Intiman Theatre with a cast led by Titanic’s Victoria Clark. The musical, based on Elizabeth Spencer's novella, will arrive at Lincoln Center's Vivian Beaumont Theater in spring 2005.
Creator and host of Seth's Broadway Chatterbox, Seth Rudetsky has served as a pit pianist and/or conductor for such Broadway shows as 42nd Street, The Full Monty, The Phantom of the Opera, Mamma Mia! and The Producers. He also conceived the idea for the recent all-star Chess concert to benefit the Actors' Fund of America as well as the two previous benefit concerts, Funny Girl and Dreamgirls. Rudetsky was a member of the comedy writing team for "The Rosie O'Donnell Show" for two years, and his awards include the Duplex's Stars of Tomorrow, the Backstage Bistro and the Funniest Gay Male in New York. He was also the author and star of the recent one man, GLAAD-nominated show Rhapsody in Seth.
