Peters, Lane, Hall, Prince, Buckley, Ebersole, Benanti and More Set for Today's 'EVERYBODY, RISE!' Elaine Stritch Tribute

The Elaine Stritch Memorial Tribute "Everybody, Rise! A Celebration of Elaine Stritch" will be held tonight, November 17, at 4 p.m. at The Al Hirschfeld Theatre, featuring Bernadette Peters, Nathan Lane, Lena Hall, Hal Prince, Betty Buckley, Christine Ebersole, Laura Benanti, Michael Feinstein and more, all on on hand to share songs and stories of the theatre legend's life.

Rob Bowman, Ms. Stritch's longtime musical director, will serve as musical director for the event, and Tony Award winning director George C. Wolfe will direct the event.

With a Tony and Emmy Award-winning career that stretched from her stage debut in 1944 - through career triumphs in Sail Away, Company, and Elaine Stritch: At Liberty - to her final role on the boards in A Little Night Music in 2010, Elaine Stritch's whiskey-soaked voice, wry comic timing, and reputation as a sharp-tongued, unapologetically audacious personality cemented her as a bona fide legend of stage and screen.

Ms. Stritch passed away on July 17th, 2014 at the age of 89.

The Honorary Producing Committee for EVERYBODY, RISE! A CELEBRATION OF ELAINE STRITCH is: Chiemi Karasawa, Carol Fineman, Rob Bowman, Hunter Ryan Herdlicka, Julie Keyes, Rick Borutta, Cheryl Wiesenfeld, Joseph Rosenthal, Mindy Cohn and Will Gaines.

EVERYBODY, RISE! A CELEBRATION OF ELAINE STRITCH is presented by Isotope Films and IAC/Barry Diller in association with Jujamcyn Theaters and HBO Documentary Films.

There will be a standby line at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre for tickets that may become available the day of the event, starting at 1pm today, November 17th.
