The evening, presented by Donnie Kehr (who created "Rockers on Broadway"), Peter Gregus and Good to Go Entertainment, was a benefit for Broadway Bares/Equity Fights AIDS. "Rockers On Broadway was originally inspired by Pete Townshend during the Broadway run of The Who's Tommy.
Original cast of Tommy - Donnie Kehr, Christian Hoff and Anthony Barille.
Pete wanted to give musical theatre performers the opportunity to experience the feeling of singing with a rock band in a concert style venue, so they could understand and transfer the rawness of that edge to the stage," state press notes. This year’s show also featured Kehr, Clarke Thorell, Daniel Reichard, J. Robert Spencer, Des McAnuff, Tituss Burgess, Micky Dolenz, and more.
