On October 13, Borough President Marty Markowitz,
300 generous Brooklynites, and others came together under the
bright lights of Broadway to enjoy a benefit performance of
“Brooklyn The Musical” at the Plymouth Theatre.
At the end of the performance, Borough President Markowitz presented
a proclamation to the creators of the new hit show declaring
October 13 “Brooklyn, the Musical Day.”
“Best
of Brooklyn, Inc.,” a non-profit with Borough President
Markowitz serving as its honorary chair, hosted the benefit
and proceeds from the magnificent night will support the organization’s
Camp Brooklyn Program and Brooklyn’s Tourism and Visitors
Center.
