Donations raised will benefit the Maui Humane Society and the Hawai‘i Community Foundation’s Maui Strong Fund, which provides quickly deployed financial resources to aid in response and recovery. As of this week, Maui Strong has raised $61,451,062.
Rudetsky and Wesley started the Stars in the House livestreaming show at the start of the Covid pandemic in 2020 to raise money and awareness for those hit by the Broadway shutdown. The show has also raised funds for other causes, including in 2022 when a 10-hour Stars in the House telethon raised money for humanitarian efforts in Ukraine.
The musical comedy Avenue Q, which features puppets alongside human actors, debuted Off Broadway in 2003 before transferring to Broadway, where it ran until 2009 and won three 2004 Tony Awards including Best Musical. The show features music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx and book by Jeff Whitty.
