When Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS launched the Broadway Legends holiday ornament series in 2008, no one could have predicted how popular these festive commemorative divas would become. Every year collectors and fans eagerly await the announcement of the new addition to the lineup. We present to you a rare, complete series of all 16 ornaments so far, including this years not-yet-announced addition.

The set, created for Broadway Cares by The Christopher Radko Company, includes Angela Lansbury as Mame in Mame, Chita Rivera as Anita in West Side Story, Carol Channing as Dolly Levi in Hello, Dolly!, Bernadette Peters as Dot in Sunday in the Park with George, Gwen Verdon as Charity in Sweet Charity, Julie Andrews as Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady, Liza Minnelli as Michelle Craig in The Act, Barbra Streisand as Fanny Brice in Funny Girl, Patti LuPone as Eva Peron in Evita, Carol Burnett as Princess Winnifred in Once Upon a Mattress, Harvey Fierstein as Edna Turnblad in Hairspray, an updated and redesigned Angela Lansbury as Mame, Glenn Close as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard, Audra McDonald as Billie Holiday in Lady Day at Emerson's Bar & Grill, Billy Porter as Lola in Kinky Boots and the first 2023 Legends ornament, which be announced at the Grand Auction.

Many of the earlier ornaments are no longer available and will never be produced again. Get this complete set and let your decor be the envy of Broadway lovers everywhere.

Harvey Evans was a beloved actor, singer and dancer who the Los Angeles Times noted had a knack for landing roles in the original Broadway productions of such classics as West Side Story, Follies, Hello, Dolly! and Gypsy. He performed alongside the likes of many of the legends featured as ornaments including Andrews, Channing, Close, Lansbury and Verdon. With decades of work and contributions to entertainment through song and dance, Evans surely left a mark and is a legend in his own right.

Generously donated to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS from the estate of Harvey Evans.
