Ellen's Stardust Diner in Times Square Partners with Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS to Celebrate Pride Month

Ellen's Stardust Diner in Times Square has announced a partnership with Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS to celebrate Pride Month in June 2023. The popular diner will donate a portion of the proceeds from sales of its rainbow cake, rainbow milkshake, and rainbow merchandise to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, in addition to the diner's own contribution to the nonprofit organization. The funds will help provide groceries, medication, healthcare, and other vital services to individuals affected by HIV/AIDS and other debilitating illnesses in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C.

According to Scott Barbarino, Artistic Director of Ellen's Stardust Diner, the diner has always welcomed and been a home for LGBTQIA+ performers from all over the country. Ellen's Stardust Diner is honored to partner with an organization like Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and looks forward to welcoming everyone.

Throughout the month of June, diners will be able to experience a variety of "Starduster" performances from popular Broadway hits like A Chorus Line, Rent, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Falsettos, Avenue Q, Kinky Boots, The Color Purple, A Strange Loop, and more.

Ellen's Stardust Diner, which is open 365 days a year from 7 am to midnight every day, is a celebrated 1950s retro-themed restaurant located at 1650 Broadway in Times Square. The diner has welcomed many celebrities, elected officials, New Yorkers, and tourists from around the globe over the past three decades. The restaurant has also been home to many "Stardusters" who started their careers at the diner and went on to Broadway, Off-Broadway, and even American Idol.

Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS is one of the nation's leading industry-based, nonprofit AIDS fundraising and grant-making organizations. Since 1988, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS has raised more than $300 million for essential services for people living with HIV/AIDS and other critical illnesses across the United States.
