Broadway, film and television star Kristin
Chenoweth brought a crowd of 550
guests to their feet at the Goodman
Theatre's 2006 Gala Give
Our Regards to Broadway on May 6, at
The Fairmont Chicago. The event, one of the
most successful in Goodman history, raised
$625,000 from sponsorship, ticket sales,
raffle proceeds and contributions.
The black-tie
evening began with a cocktail reception,
followed by Chenoweth's dynamic
performance of Broadway show tunes, music directed
by Andrew Lippa, including
selections from Wicked, Showboat and Candide.
The evening continued with an elegant three-course
dinner and dancing to the music of Lynne Jordan
and the Shivers.

Goodman Women's Board member Katherine
A. Abelson and Goodman Trustee Richard
Weisberg, with Women's Board
member Linda Robin as planning
chair. Goodman Theatre Board of Trustees chairman
is Lester N. Coney and Women's
Board president is Susan D. Underwood.
