Tony Sheldon in NYC

Our Sheldy brings home the bacon on Broadway

 

SOME 300+ of Sydney's finest whooped and knees-upped at the Paddo RSL and the 2011 Sydney Theatre Awards on Monday night. Meanwhile, across the other side of the globe our much-loved Tony Sheldon was enjoying a celebration of his own. He sent this email:

 

I am very chuffed about this. BROADWAY CARES/EQUITY FIGHTS AIDS has donated $20,000 on my behalf to our Aussie equivalent OZ SHOWBIZ CARES in honour of the Priscilla company's fundraising efforts last December. How jolly!

And the message to him reads:

 

"Thank you Tony for leading the cast of Broadway’s Priscilla Queen of the Desert in the recent fundraising campaign that raised $107,000 prior to the performances of the 23^rd Annual Gypsy of the Year Competition on December 5 and 6! We are proud and happy to share some of the wonderful resources you have made possible for us with your friends and colleagues back home."
