Their efforts will culminate in the 34th Annual Easter Bonnet Competition on Mon April 20, and Tues April 21.

Last year, 69 Broadway, Off-Broadway and national tours raised a record $6.6 million during the Easter Bonnet Competition fundraising.  In celebration of their fundraising efforts, performers from Broadway, Off-Broadway and national touring companies will share original songs and skits, as well as their unique bonnet designs, for two afternoons at the Minskoff (200 West 45th St.) Performances begin at 4:30 PM April 20 and 2 PM April 21. Awards will be presented to the best presentation and best bonnet design across both performances and to the top fundraisers from the preceding six weeks.
