The lineup has been announced for MCC Theater's annual Miscast 2015 gala, to be held March 30 at the Hammerstein Ballroom.
The event, which features Broadway performers singing songs for roles they'd be completely wrong for, will star Emmy winner Uzo Aduba (Orange
Is the New Black), Tony Award winners Laura Benanti (Gypsy), Linda Lavin (The Lyons), and Jessie Mueller (Beautiful — The Carole King Musical), Tony nominees Annaleigh Ashford (You Can't Take It With You), Christopher Fitzgerald (Chicago), Joshua Henry (Violet), Jeremy Jordan (Violet), and Ramin Karimloo (Les Misérables), and stage and screen stars Ana Gasteyer (Suburgatory) and Cheyenne Jackson (The Most Happy Fella).
As previously announced, the evening will honor American Horror Story star Sarah Paulson, who appeared in MCC's productions of Still Life and Colder Than Here, as well as legendary theatrical producer Fran Weissler (Chicago).
MCC Theater co-artistic director Bernard Telsey said in a statement, "Honoring Sarah and Fran together is going to double our fun at Miscast. They’re both incredibly talented, passionate and very funny women. Plus, they don’t play it safe, which is something we value at MCC. We're eager to pay tribute to that quality in both of them next March."
