Held high above the glorious Manhattan skyline, The Drama League's annual black-tie soiree--featuring a cocktail reception, a dazzling silent auction, a specially-crafted three-course meal, and a unique, one-night-only musical revue featuring superstars from Broadway and Hollywood--is one of the can't-miss events of the season! Featuring Chita Rivera (Nine), Christine Ebersole (Grey Gardens), Donna Murphy (Wonderful Town), Cheyenne Jackson and Kerry Butler (Xanadu), Lee Roy Reams (La Cage Aux Folles) and Cady Huffman (The Producers), dozens of additional stars will lend their talents to this unique evening of music, tribute, and dance. Sure to be a highlight of the evening will be the reuniting of original cast members of La Cage aux Folles, Urinetown and The Will Rogers Follies to perform showstoppers from their legendary productions. Huffman, who is also the choreographer for the evening, will reprise her Tony-nominated performance as Ziegfield's Favorite from The Will Rogers Follies and recreate Tommy Tune's unforgettable dance sequence.
The Gala Honorees for the evening are the powerhouse husband-and-wife producers Stewart F. Lane and Bonnie Comley. Aptly nicknamed "Mr. Broadway," Lane is a four-time Tony Award winner for Jay Johnson: The Two and Only (2006), Thoroughly Modern Millie (2002), The Will Rogers Follies (1991), and La Cage aux Folles (1984). Mr. Lane's producing career began in 1979 with Jerry Herman's The Grand Tour starring Joel Grey; since that first venture, Lane has produced shows with some of the theatre's brightest stars, including Liza Minnelli, Lauren Bacall, Raquel Welch, Debbie Reynolds, Harvey Fierstein, Keith Carradine, Martin Short, Marisa Tomei, and Sutton Foster. Teaming up with wife Comley in 2003, the two hit the Great White Way with Bernadette Peters in the revival of Gypsy, Alfred Molina in Fiddler on the Roof, Laura Bell Bundy in Legally Blonde, and Kevin Kline in last season's acclaimed revival of Cyrano de Bergerac.
