Broadway’s brightest will celebrate six weeks of dedicated fundraising in a showcase of songs and skits when the 29th Annual  Gypsy of the Year competition returns at 4:30 PM Mon Dec 4, and at 2:00 PM Tues Dec 5 at the New Amsterdam (214 West 42nd St) produced by and benefiting Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. The performance will celebrate the talented singers and dancers in the ensembles of shows, historically and affectionately known as “gypsies.” More than 200 singers, dancers and special guests will perform original skits, songs and dances, with awards presented to the best presentation and for the top fundraisers from the preceding six weeks. Starting tonight, theatre lobbies in New York City and beyond will be filled with casts, crew members and volunteers accepting donations with Broadway Cares’ signature #redbuckets in hand. Every dollar placed in a bucket at Broadway, Off-Broadway and national tour theatres will help provide lifesaving medication, healthy meals, emergency financial assistance and more to the most vulnerable among us. Additionally, audiences at many shows can purchase autographed memorabilia, like signed posters, Playbills and prop pieces. Some shows will offer one-of-a-kind experiences, including backstage tours and meet-and-greets, in exchange for a donation. Seth Rudetsky will return to host. Since 1989, the 28 editions o f Gypsy of the Year have raised more than $72.7 million to benefit Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS. Advance tickets can now be purchased online at broadwaycares.org.
