The 7 PM benefit at The Julia Miles Theatre at the Women's Project, 424 West 55th Street, boasts the wistful ballad "That's What I Want (For Janie)," which was cut from the original production after opening night to ease the vocal demands for star Lucille Ball. (It is heard on the original cast album.)

Jacob Shoesmith Fox, who directs the benefit, states, "I am so excited that the authors' estates have given us special permission to perform 'That’s What I Want (For Janie).' This song adds so much heart to the character of Wildy and presents a side of her that is not seen in the rest of the show."

Wildcat, with music by Cy Coleman, lyrics by Carolyn Leigh and book by N. Richard Nash, tells the story of "a frontier woman named Wildcat Jackson who arrives in a border town in the American southwest with dreams of striking oil and tricks foreman Joe Dynamite into helping her," according to press notes.

The evening also features the talents of Beth Fowler (The Boy From Oz, Beauty and the Beast) as Countess Emily O'Brien, Lenny Wolpe (Wicked, The Drowsy Chaperone) as the local hermit Sookie, Jenn Gambatese (All Shook Up, Tarzan) as Wildcat's sister Janie, and newcomer Junior Mendez (CBS's "My Broadway Debut") as Joe's young sidekick Hank.

The company also includes Vincent D'Elia (Kiss of the Spider Woman, Grease), Lawrence E. Street (Urinetown), Pierce Cravens (Ragtime, A Christmas Carol), Kenneth Kasch, Tony Castellanos, Gregory Couba, Michal Salonia, Spencer Andrew Taylor, and Michael Puglia. The ensemble comprises Lital Abrahams, Andrea Andert, Kiarri D. Andrews, Jaime Lyn Beatty, Christopher DeRosa, Jonathan Juarbe, James LaRosa, Nolan Muña, Alison Rose Munn, Tara Novie, Erin O’Neil, Tony Ramos, Jillian Schochet, and Bradley Vile.
