Born for Broadway was created nine years ago as a student-sponsored cabaret at Marymount Manhattan College, where founder and executive producer Galli was enrolled as a performance major. Galli created the show after her brother, Jeff, suffered a spinal cord injury in 1998. The evening benefits the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.

The American Airlines Theatre is located at 227 West 42nd Street. For more information and tickets, visit BornForBroadway.com.
