The benefit evening will include performances by HAL LINDEN, JILL EIKENBERRY, MICHAEL TUCKER, MARY TESTA, DEBORAH MONK, CASS MORGAN, JANE SUMMERHAYS, CHRIS SARANDON, TIM JEROME, WALTER CHARLES, CAROLE DEMAS, K.T.

If It Only Even Runs A Minute 4 & 5 are the fourth and fifth editions of evenings of rare and inspiring songs, anecdotes, and photos from Broadway musicals that may not have been fully appreciated the first time around. The evening features performances and stories from original cast members of several of the featured shows.
