Broadway’s Biggest Annual Charity Gala Challenges Anna Wintour’s Met Ball on Same Night Next Month With Actual Talent

Share

Game on!

Broadway’s biggest annual charity gala will take on Anna Wintour’s Met Ball on May 1st. I’m rooting for Broadway.

The Entertainment Community Fund used to be called the Actors Fund. Everyone who’s anyone shows up every year and this one will be no different. The honorees include Tyler Perry, Glorya Kaufman, Alana Mayo, and Tom Kirdahy. Tony winner Brian Stokes Mitchell is in charge, and the entertainment will be five star in the Marriott Marquis Hotel ballroom.

Meanwhile, Anna Wintour’s celebrity-suck Halloween party will be going on at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. There will be a lot of Kardashians and other low-level tabloid stars wearing get ups from outer space. Wintour has already rejected you as a possible guest even though you’ve offered to pay some ridiculous amount of money. If you’d given half of that to ECF/Actor’s Fund, you’d actually have a fun night. And you could meet actually talented people.
