PROMISES and QUARTET to Hold Actors Fund Benefit Performances, 9/19 & 9/26

PROMISES, PROMISES and MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET will hold special performances to benefit the Actors Fund. 

The special performance of PROMISES, PROMISES will take place on September 19 at 8pm at the Broadway Theatre.

It's Manhattan. It's the 60's. And the city is back in full swing. It's Broadway's first-ever revival of PROMISES, PROMISES, starring Emmy® winner Sean Hayes ('Will and Grace') as the enterprising associate on the way up and Tony® and Emmy® winner Kristin Chenoweth (WICKED) as the cafeteria waitress whose romantic troubles have got her down and featuring 2010 Tony® winner Katie Finneran. Don't miss this smart and sexy musical based on the Oscar® - winning Billy Wilder film 'The Apartment'.

The creative team is a perfect cocktail: a splashy score by the Academy Award® winning team of Burt Bacharach and Hal David, including such songs as "I'll Never Fall In Love Again."  Add a book that takes turns tickling you funny bone and breaking your heart, courtesy of the legendary Neil Simon... Top it all off with a sparkling blend of direction and choreography by Tony® and Emmy® Award winner Rob Ashford - and you've got an intoxicating evening of Broadway magic.

The special performance of MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET will take place on September 26 at 7pm at the Nederlander Theatre.

Million Dollar Quartet is the new smash-hit musical inspired by the famed recording session that brought together rock 'n' roll icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins for the first and only time.

On December 4, 1956, these four young musicians gathered at Sun Records in Memphis for what would be one of the greatest jam sessions ever. MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET brings that legendary night to life, featuring a scope of rock hits including "Blue Suede Shoes," "Fever," "That's All Right." "Sixteen Tons," "Great Balls Of Fire," "Walk The Line," "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On," "Who Do You Love?," and many more.
