The show—entitled Bea Arthur: Back on Broadway (& 95th Street) will feature "Bea onstage, barefoot, with her amazing pianist Billy Goldenberg. She will "riff on decades of showbiz madness—from whooping it up with Ethel Merman and Tallulah Bankhead to all of her legendary TV work. And yes, there's lots of fun songs and smart, bawdy (and even gay-flavored) humor. Plus, a nice recipe for lamb."

Arthur received a Tony Award for her performance as the glamorous and frequently drunk Vera Charles in Mame; she repeated her Broadway performance in the film version. Other Broadway credits include Threepenny Opera, Plain and Fancy, Seventh Heaven, Fiddler on the Roof and The Floating Light Bulb. As a TV star, she is best known for her work on "Golden Girls" and "Maude."

Tickets begin at $50-$100, and VIP seats are $250 (they include an after-party) and $500 (tickets include the chance to meet Arthur and to attend the after-party). For tickets, visit www.SymphonySpace.org or call (212) 865-5400.
