Once again The Wonderettes were thrilled to participate in raising funds for Broadway Cares- Equity Fights Aids. This season is the annual Easter Bonnet Competition. It was held in the Beautiful Minskoff theatre which is currently home to The Lion King.....this would be the only way I believe it would ever be possible for me to perform on The Lion King set......for obvious reasons.

The show was so fun and we were so proud of our number and our bonnet (neither of which won a blessed thing.....but it's for charity right)

For our number we did a five part arrangement of Gilda Radners Lets Talk Dirty To The Animals. Our musical director Michael Borth lent us his amazing talents and arranged it and made a musical track for us.

Bobby our costumer pulled together the cutest costumes and one of our newest members, Kristen did our Choreography.

An added bonus was that I got to meet youtube sensation Miranda who was part of the Mama Mia number.

Our bonnet was my design.....but everyone chipped in making it happen and our darling dresser, Kaitlin  proudly wore it. 

We recreated our Trash cans that can be seen all over town.....it actually looked so real, after the show one of the mothers from Billy Elliot threw her gum in it.....her child was mortified.

Despite our collecting efforts.....we did not win this time around, but I believe we raised over $20,000. Not too shabby for an off Broadway little Gem.

THE BEST THING.... I was in the same show as Jane Fonda and Liza Minnelli

THE WORST THING.... I saved time taking the stairs, not realizing I could have ridden in the elevator with Liza.
