Broadway's Biggest Stars Support Entertainment Community Fund's Gala Ahead of Tony Nominations
Some of Broadway‘s biggest stars came together on their night off to celebrate the Entertainment Community Fund, an organization previously known as the Actors Fund.
Nicole Scherzinger, Denzel Washington, and Idina Menzel were among the celebs who hit the red carpet on Monday night (April 21) at the Marriot Marquis in New York City.
Denzel was honored with the Entertainment Community Fund Medal of Honor alongside fellow Oscar winner Ariana DeBose and theater owner James L. Nederlander.
The Entertainment Community Fund fosters stability and resiliency, and provides a safety net for performing arts and entertainment professionals over their lifespan. The fund envisions a world in which individuals contributing to our country’s cultural vibrancy are supported, valued and economically secure.
The stars of many Broadway shows, including Darren Criss and Joy Woods, were also there.
The event, hosted by Michael Urie, was held just weeks before Tony nominations are announced and many of these actors are frontrunners to get recognized by the American Theatre Wing.
