“Elaine Stritch - At Liberty” in Jazz Café3 Performances- October31-November 2nd
To Benefit Music Hall Center For The Performing Art’s Jazz Café
Native Detroiter and Broadway legend, Elaine Stritch returns to reprise her Tony Award-winning one woman show, “Elaine Stritch - At Liberty”, for three shows, Friday, October 31, Saturday, November 1st at 8PM and Sunday, November 2nd at 7 PM in the cozy confines of Jazz Café at Music Hall.
Born in Detroit in 1926, Stritch debuted on Broadway in the 1952 revue, Angel In The Wings, became Ethel Merman's understudy in Irving Berlin's, "Call Me Madam" and went on to a career that has spanned 6 decades. Stritch has had 4 Tony Award nominations, winning one in 2002 for "Elaine Stritch - At Liberty".“At Liberty” is a fascinatingly, bittersweet reminiscence of Stritch’s long and colorful career, replete with songs, stories and a self-effacing sense of humor that cover her life at The Actors Workshop (Dating Marlon Brando) on Broadway (creating her brash character, Joanne from Company) and her nearly 50-year battle with alcoholism, all delivered with honesty and in her trademark gorgeously gravelly voice.
Jazz Café at Music Hall, is the perfect setting for this Tony Award-winning one-gal show where you can enjoy, up close and personal and in a timeless atmosphere, an entertainment legend covering a career in which she was a bonafide, “Triple Threat” (Actor, Singer & Dancer) and a one-of-a-kind personality.The D.A. Pennebaker documentary of Elaine Stritch at Liberty (2004) combined rehearsal elements and her stage performance, and also won several Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Achievement in a Variety or Music Program.
Tickets for Elaine Stritch - At Liberty are $100 per person // seating is general admission and based on first purchased–first seated
Jazz Café at Music Hall is located at 350 Madison Detroit, Michigan 48226.
