Brian Stokes Mitchell and Chita Rivera will be among the participants in Passing It On: An evening of star performances to benefit Rosie’s Broadway Kids, to be held at New World Stages on April 27 at 7:30 pm.

Both of these Tony-winning stars helped to mentor Rosie’s Broadway Kids on classic performances from the Great White Way. The evening will include performances that resulted from these mentoring sessions, some performances by the mentors, as well as behind-the-scenes footage of their rehearsals. Additional celebrity participants will be announced at a later date.

In addition, there will be a VIP After-Party with Rosie O’Donnell at Tony’s DiNapoli, at approximately 9 pm for VIP ticket holders only.

General Seating tickets are $100, with VIP tickets for $250. They can be purchased at app.etapestry.com/hosted/RosiesCharities/RBKidsEvents.html.
