While plays don't get to perform at Stars in the Alley, cast members often introduce musical numbers or talk about their Broadway experiences. Tony nominees Michael Hayden, Robert Sean Leonard and Richard Easton and Michele Lee represented their plays - Judgement at Nuremberg, The Invention of Love and The Tale of the Allergist's Wife.
