Now, this is a nice story, and I'm sure "Sopranos" fans will agree: The old gang from The Best TV Drama Ever will hold a fund-raiser this Saturday night at the Mirage (on Merrick Ave. in Westbury...)
And who from the old gang? Pretty much all the major players, with an exception here and there: James Gandolfini, Edie Falco, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Robert Iler and Michael Imperioli will show up at the club at 10 p.m. - you can see them all, sitting in the VIP area. Go up. Shake hands. Get autographs. 
The cause: To raise $50,000 - or more - for a pair of former colleagues on "The Sopranos." One is suffering from cancer; the other has recovered but is now suffering from financial hardship.
Jeff Marchetti - "Petey" and long associated with the show in a number of back-stage roles - is organizing the benefit, and said a little while ago that the cast wants to help "one of our most beloved prop guys, who's been on the [show from the beginning]. His name is Anthony B., but he wanted to remain nameless. He's battling lymphoma and nobody knew about it, [until] a month and a half after we wrapped...Everybody loves the guy because we are absolutely a true family and we're gonna support him in every possible way we can."
Marchetti said the goal is to also raise money for another former colleague on the show, as well as a childhood friend of his - both who had been ill.
According to Jeff and the Mirage's website, all the major players will be at the club but Marchetti said as many as twenty are scheduled to show up.
More details: Cover is $20 though the cast will hold a private party from 8 to 10, and to join that: $1250 per couple, according to Marchetti (who says to go to einnonmedia@aol.com to confirm.)
Yup, it's no secret "Sopranos" cast and crew have been pretty tight over the years while Gandolfini has gone out of his way countless times to help people behind the camera. This makes countless-and-one.
