Broadway Dreams 20th Anniversary Gala - Night of 100 Stars

NIGHT OF 100 STARS
20 Years of Dreams. One Unforgettable Night.

Join us at New York City’s iconic Plaza Hotel for Night of 100 Stars, a spectacular celebration of the 20th Anniversary of Broadway Dreams.

On Monday, December 14, 2026, Broadway’s brightest stars will share the stage with the extraordinary young artists of Broadway Dreams for an unforgettable evening of music, celebration, and show-stopping performances.

This year, Broadway Dreams is proud to honor three extraordinary women whose careers embody the organization's commitment to artistic excellence, mentorship, and opportunity: acclaimed actress and Actors’ Equity Association President Brooke Shields with the Artistic Leadership Award; award-winning Broadway and television star Lea Michele with the Artistic Achievement Award; and Artios Award-winning casting director Rachel Hoffman with the Founder's Award.

Shields, whose celebrated Broadway career includes Grease, Chicago, Cabaret, Wonderful Town, and The Addams Family, has become a leading advocate for theatrical artists as President of Actors’ Equity Association. Michele made her Broadway debut at just eight years old in Les Misérables before building an acclaimed career across Broadway, television, music, and concert stages worldwide. Hoffman, a leading casting director at The Telsey Office, was among Broadway Dreams’ first teaching artists 20 years ago, helping establish the mentorship model that remains at the heart of the organization today.

Twenty years of dreams. Broadway’s brightest stars. One spectacular night.
