Just last night, the Drama League honored Steve Martin - whose prolific body of work has earned him an Academy Award, five Grammy Awards, an Emmy, the Mark Twain Award, and the Kennedy Center Honors - at its fall gala at The Plaza (768 Fifth Avenue).
Celebrating Mr. Martin's career in theater, music, film and television, including this season's Broadway production of his new play Meteor Shower, the gala featured a one-night-only musical tribute in Mr. Martin's honor with performances by stars of both stage and screen.
The show was hosted by Academy and Tony Award-winner Kevin Kline (Present Laughter), with special guest appearances by the legendary Carol Kane ("The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt"), Ed Helms ("The Hangover," "The Office"), Kermit the Frog (actor, singer, director, producer), and Justin Guarini (In Transit), with Alex Brightman (School of Rock), Lea DeLaria ("Orange is the New Black"), Jennifer Simard (Hello, Dolly!), Lauren Worsham(A Gentlemen's Guide to Love and Murder) and more. Drama League Directors Project alumna Samantha Saltzman directed.
