The entire star-studded cast of Broadway's The Boys in the Band has signed on to host the upcoming special midnight Actors Fund benefit performance of Three Tall Women at the Golden Theatre.

In addition to his direction of The Boys in the Band and Three Tall Women, Mantello earned Tony Awards for his work on Take Me Out and Assassins. His extensive résumé as a director also includes Wicked, The Humans, Blackbird, The Last Ship, The Other Place, Pal Joey, November and Three Days of Rain.
