The glitz, glamour, and grandeur of Broadway Belts for PFF! made its triumphant return to the Edison Ballroom for the ninth annual event on February 25th. Thanks to our generous sponsors, attendees, and donors, we achieved another record-breaking year, raising over $400,000 to support the PF community.
This year’s event featured dazzling performances by some of Broadway’s hottest stars including Robert Creighton (Broadway’s Frozen; Cagney), Ariana Debose (Broadway’s Summer; Hamilton), Santino Fontana (Broadway’s Tootsie; Hello Dolly), Brad Oscar (Broadway’s Something Rotten, Tony Nominee; The Producer, Tony Nominee), Mary Testa (two-time Tony-nominee for On the Town and 42nd Street), Jenny LaRoche (Broadway’s Summer), Patti Murin (Broadway’s Frozen), Julie Gold (Grammy Award Winner), with a special surprise appearance by Lilli Cooper (Broadway’s Wicked and Spring Awakening). New York Yankees Legend and Latin Grammy nominee Bernie Williams gave a poignant performance in memory of his father who passed away from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
