The One Night Only Special Benefit Performance of "Playing Our Songs" is on Sunday, September 13th at 7 pm with the award-winning Marvin Hamlisch, Robert Klein and Lucie Arnaz. These brilliant talents will come together for a special benefit, each performing their unique brand of song and comedy, followed by songs from the Tony-nominated show They're Playing Our Song. Proceeds from the evening will benefit both Bay Street Theatre and Fran Liebergall, part of the original production of They're Playing Our Song who is living with multiple sclerosis. In a statement about Fran, Marvin Hamlisch said, "I first heard Fran (Liebergall) play the piano when I was working on a new show called A Chorus Line. I thought this person would be a great addition. Little did I know she would be a brilliant addition to the show as a rehearsal pianist, my assistant with great ideas, and later on as a magnificent conductor."
"I always look forward to sharing the stage with Marvin and Robert. There's such a great chemistry there.... But, to be making music together this time, knowing it will also help our great friend,
Fran Liebergall, makes it even more special", says
Lucie Arnaz.
In addition to the top notch talent on stage, is the man behind the scenes of this event--
Roy Miller, current Broadway producer of West Side Story, The Drowsy Chaperone and the upcoming Ragtime revival. When asked about
Fran Liebergall who cast him in They're Playing Our Song years ago,
Mr. Miller said, "In this business, it's all about family and you never think of saying no when a friend is in need. Working on this benefit is a labor of love for all of us who have had the pleasure of knowing Fran. We look forward to seeing her front row center on September 13th." This evening will no doubt be one to remember. The benefit performance is Sunday, September 13th at 7pm. Tickets are $50 and $75. Premium tickets are $150 and include a post-performance reception with the stars. Don't miss this special opportunity!
