Last night, the stars came out for the New York Pops 31st Birthday Gala, a special event to celebrate the organization and honor the musical contributions of famed stage, film and TV songwriters Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman ("Smash," "Hairspray," "Down With Love" and the Broadway-bound, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," currently a major hit in London)

With a packed house at Carnegie Hall, and celebrities both on stage and in the audience to cheer them on, the night proved that glamour is not reserved for TV and film ceremonies, alone.

It reinvigorated the beauty of Broadway this year, just in time for it's own awards season, with guests dressed in their glamorous best, and a slew of fantastic performances by some of today's top stars.

Celebrities spotted include Sarah Jessica Parker, Debra Messing, Matthew Morrison, Megan Hilty, Katharine McPhee, Jane Krakowski, Patti LuPone and more. Check out shots from the evening's red carpet festivities, below!
