Elaine Stritch: At Home at the Carlyle...Again Opens 9/12

A Broadway legend will return to the cabaret stage when Elaine Stritch: At Home at the Carlyle...Again opens on Tuesday, September 12, 2006, in the Café Carlyle (located in The Carlyle Hotel, 35 East 76th Street at Madison Avenue) and plays through Saturday, November 4.

The all new show marks Stritch's return to the Cafe Carlyle following the success of her previous SRO engagements last year.  "With her longtime music director Rob Bowman leading a six-piece band,. Stritch will once again commute to work (three flights down!) to entertain audiences with  songs and stories from her remarkable career," state notes on the show.

Stritch received a 2002 Drama Desk Award for her performance in Elaine Stritch at Liberty; the show also garnered a Tony for Best Special Theatrical Event and netted Stritch an Emmy when it was broadcast on HBO. She has received Tony Award nominations for her performances in A Delicate Balance, Bus Stop, Sail Away and Company, in which she originated the role of the sardonic Joanne. Other Broadway credits include Call Me Madam (as the standby for Ethel Merman), Pal Joey, On Your Toes, Goldilocks, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Love Letters and Show Boat; she also appeared in the legendary Lincoln Center concert version of Follies. On film and TV, she has been seen in Providence, Cocoon: The Return, September, An Unexpected Wife, Small Time Crooks, Autumn in New York, Monster-in-Law, "3rd Rock from the Sun," and "Law and Order," for which she received an Emmy Award.

It was also recently announced that this December, Stritch will head to London for a new one-woman show built around the work of Noel Coward.  The show will come to Broadway after its London run.
