“Millionaire” Launches “Broadway Giveaway Week” December 19th

Who Wants to be a Millionaire will celebrate Broadway next week with a special “Broadway Giveaway Week”.  Starting December 19th contestants will be asked one question each game about Broadway.  If they answer it correctly they will win tickets to a performance of Mary Poppins or The Lion King for themselves and a whole section of the studio audience.  In addition the two lead actors from Mary Poppins, Steffanie Leigh (Mary Poppins) and Gavin Lee (Bert), will kick off the week with a charity game. Their charity, The Actors Fund, is guaranteed $5,000 no matter what.

EDIT: Fixed a typo.  Members of the studio audience will get tickets, not just one.  A full section will get them.

Earlier this year Meredith Vieira had the chance to appear on Mary Poppins and play a chimney sweep in two dance numbers. Take a look at a Backstage Pass video showing her experience.
