Master of Ceremonies - Artists for the Cure - Benefit for Breast Cancer Research
(Carnegie Hall, September 22, 2000)

From the New York Times: "Mr. Patinkin, who sang a sweetly wistful rendition of "Over the Rainbow" to cap the night, was an ideal host, full of humor, tough talk and feisty optimism about the battle against breast cancer. In a powerful demonstration of the impact of the disease, he asked groups of affected audience members to stand in turn: first breast cancer survivors, then all those who have had a family member with the disease, then those who have had a close friend contract breast cancer. By the end, there was hardly a person seated anywhere in Carnegie Hall."
