Daniel Radcliffe, Hugh Jackman & More Make the 2011 Gypsy of the Year an Event to Remember

The annual Gypsy of the Year competition is one of the Broadway community’s favorite events, and the 2011 edition was no exception! High-wattage stars like Hugh Jackman, How to Succeed’s Daniel Radcliffe and Follies’ Bernadette Peters held court at the New Amsterdam Theatre on December 5 and 6, while more than 300 singers, dancers and musicians had a ball performing for a good cause. The program of songs, original skits and dances was topped by a once-in-a-lifetime reunion: 40 years after its debut, the original cast of Grease got together to perform for this adoring Broadway crowd. But the sweetest news of the day was the final tally: After six weeks of fundraising, the 53 participating Broadway, off-Broadway and national touring companies raised $4,895,253 for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
