What a night it was! Billy Crystal was the emcee. Barbra Streisand assisted by phone from the west coast. Joel Grey reprised his role from Cabaret to welcome the audience. Both Chelsea Clinton and Bill Clinton shared campaign trail stories. There were two original Annies to sing Tomorrow. Every musical selection conveyed the deep meaning and importance of this election. Actors read cuttings of plays and speeches. My favorite prefers not to be introduced by her DBE honorific so Crystal welcomed "Sir Helen Mirren" onstage to a huge reception. She read from a campaign speech by Eleanor Roosevelt. You can catch some of her performance here. I am unabashedly biased and so proud of her support for Hillary.
Hillary did not attend as she has been prepping for tomorrow night's debate, but she did appear in a video and thanked everyone - all participants and donors.
You can read some reviews below and see some great photos of the event.
