Rosie's Broadway Extravaganza is an annual benefit held in New York City for Rosie O'Donnell's charity, "Rosie's Broadway Kids." The charity teaches musical theatre to underprivileged children in New York City, improving their lives through the arts. The shows feature Hollywood and Broadway stars in a Vaudeville-like show, performing for a live audience in a Broadway House. Other performers that night included Queen Latifah, Nikki Blonsky, Gavin Creel and former American Idol finalist Melinda Doolittle.
