Production
The off-Broadway production of The Most Ridiculous Thing
You Ever Hoid, a next-link selection of the 2010 New York
Musical Theatre Festival, was a huge sold-out success, receiving
the award for OUTSTANDING ENSEMBLE PERFORMANCE! The
Awards Gala will be November 14, 2010 . . .
Events of the evening
include cocktails, silent auction, dinner, awards show and VIP after-party. The
awards show itself is at 8:30 p.m. and costs $50.00 to attend,
but if you click
here, you will see several other options for attending
the all events of this wonderful evening. And it benefits a most
cutting-edge Festival!
We'll be adding more notes and photos here, so revisit this page
often!
