Deborah Cox and Ben Davis have joined the bill for Only Make Believe's 27th anniversary gala at the Walter Kerr Theatre on Monday, November 9, where Matthew Broderick and Brad Oscar will reunite for The Producers.
The evening opens at 7pm with an 80-minute performance on the Walter Kerr stage at 219 West 48th Street, followed by a VIP after-party at John's of Times Square. The performance will be ASL interpreted.
Cox is set to perform, and Davis, currently in the Broadway company of Hadestown, joins as a special guest. They add to a lineup of appearances and performances from Jim Parsons, Ali Louis Bourzgui, Lena Hall, Bonnie Milligan, Jess LeProtto of Schmigadoon!, Kate Reinders and Nik Walker. Model and television host Coco Rocha and Vogue senior editor Chloe Schama are also taking part.
The set piece of the night looks back to 2001: Broderick and Oscar, both members of the original Broadway company of The Producers, will perform together again.
Singer-songwriter Rob Thomas and philanthropist Marisol Thomas receive the James Hammerstein Award, and Hazel Estrin of Tribeca Prep School is this year's Clay Stefanki Award recipient.
Only Make Believe sends professional actors into hospitals and care facilities to make interactive theater with children, and the gala raises money for that program.
Tickets are sold through the Only Make Believe gala page. The additions of Cox and Davis were reported by BroadwayWorld.
