Ryan Davis and Jeffery Self are the conceivers of the benefit called “Mr. Broadway.” Spoken to today, April 23, 2007, by the Broadway Bullet, this duo explained the story behind the “beauty pageant” of sorts that the two of them created to raise funds for an LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered) Youth Homeless Shelter.
The Mr. Broadway “beauty pageant” is an event wherein one male cast member from each currently-running Broadway show competes in the areas of “talent, interview and, of course, swim suit.” Evaluated by a panel of celebrity judges, the final votes are left up to the audience, making this a great experience for anyone lucky enough to get tickets.
With so many great shows running on Broadway, you can just imagine the amount of talent that would come out of a given pageant! From Spamalot’s hilarity to The Pirate Queen’s intensity, the male cast members of each of these shows pack a wallop into every performance and would undoubtedly bring that same glory to Mr. Broadway. And who wouldn’t feel good about spending money to help the Ali Forney Center, which is a homeless shelter for LGBT youth.
