Newsies vs. Annie - 2013 Easter Bonnet Competition

Описание: The orphans of Annie and paperboys of Disney's Newsies teamed up for a dance-and-rap rumble to resolve who could lay claim to being the ultimate Broadway show about New York. The scrappy, energetic number earned them a runner-up nod for best presentation at the 27th Annual Easter Bonnet Competition, produced by and benefiting Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

The Easter Bonnet Competition, produced by and benefiting Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, raised a staggering $4,250,542 -- eclipsing the previous high of $3,734,129 set in 2007. The grand total was announced April 23, 2013, after six weeks of intensive fundraising by 47 Broadway, Off-Broadway and national touring companies.
