New Yorkers and theatre goers may be interested to know that the small $155 silver necklace is being sold at Priscilla Queen of the Desert the Musical at the Palace Theater on Broadway. A full 100 percent of the proceeds benefits Bette Midler's New York Restoration Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to reclaiming and restoring New York City parks, community gardens, and open space. Midler is one of the show's producers, and Manolo is one of the show's opening-night sponsors. Yet another fun tie-in: Manolo unveiled an official stiletto—a silver, patent-leather Priscilla Mary Jane—for the production; a portion of sale proceeds also benefit Midler's charity.
