Rosie O’Donnell Is Bringing Back Her Talk Show For A One Night Only Benefit

Rosie O is bringing back her talk show for one night, and it will stream live on Broadway.com.
Rosie and friends will be raising money for an actors fund that helps Broadway actors.

From People.com:

She says, “Everybody who knows me knows that Broadway has been one of the brightest lights in my life since the time I was a little girl. It has also been the lifeblood of New York City for generation after generation. After all Broadway has given to the world, now — in this time of tremendous need — it’s our turn to give something back. There is no better way to support this community than via The Actors Fund. And, with a line-up like this, I dare you not to tune in.”

The special event, which will broadcast live March 22 on Broadway.com, will be a live streaming fundraiser for The Actors Fund in order to help amid the coronavirus pandemic, which has resulted in Broadway canceling all performances until April 13.

Featured performances and appearances are expected from a wide variety of folks, all from the comfort of their own homes!
