The cast of Naked Boys Singing! will host a concert Sept. 27 at Helen's Hideaway to benefit two victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Bill DiPaola, a former cast member of the Off-Broadway revue, and DiPaola's wife Anne, a former marketing supervisor, lost their home during the recent hurricane. To help them recover from that disaster, the cast of Naked Boys Singing! has arranged a special one-night-only benefit at Helen's. In addition to the company of Naked Boys, others set to perform include Aida's Felicia Finley, Yank!'s Tally Sessions, Little Women's Julie Foldesi and Jenny Powers, Five Course Love's Erin Maguire, Miss Saigon's Drew Distefano and Joy's Chris Sloan.

Helen's Hideaway is located in Manhattan at 169 Eighth Avenue between 19th and 20th Streets. There is a $20 minimum donation and a $15 food/drink minimum. Doors open at 7 PM for the 8 PM concert.
