Lane, Bonnie ComleyChita Rivera, Brian Stokes MitchellThe Drama League Annual Benefit Gala called A Musical Celebration of Broadway was a dazzling evening at The Rainbow Room high above Rockefeller Plaza, where Broadway producers, the husband and wife team of Stewart F. Lane and Bonnie Comley, were honored. The star-studded evening hosted by Tony winners Donna Murphy and Julie White also celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Drama League Directors Project. The entertainment featured Broadway legend Chita Rivera, Keith Carradine, Lee Roy Reams, the 2009 cast members of Hair, and the original cast of La Cage Aux Folles, the 1984 hit musical that won Lane one of his Tony Awards.
