17 shows from around theatreland took part in the fourth annual competition – which raised £9,500 for Acting for Others, a fundraising organization for 15 UK theatrical charities – and the company of Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein, currently playing at the Garrick Theatre were crowned the cherry on the cake.
