Australia’s given us some of our best stars: Russell Crowe, Nicole Kidman, Paul “Crocodile Dundee” Hogan, Cate Blanchett... So we’re eager to attend the New 42nd Street Gala, which is honoring the Australia Council for the Arts for creating theatrical works for young kids. (You don’t need to be in Perth to see them: the shows travel around the world.) The evening’s co-chairs include perpetual arts advocate and newly minted Glee star Sarah Jessica Parker and socialite Adelina Wong Ettelson; honorary chairs are Aussie theater-booster Hugh Jackman and his lovely wife.

The New Victory Theater, 209 West 42nd Street, 7pm, tickets and information can be found at newvictory.org.
