STAGE TUBE: Christine Pedi & Michael West Bring Out Liza & Larry to #SaveCafeEdison!
By: Tyler Peterson Nov. 24, 2014
On Thursday, November 6th it was announced that Café Edison in Times Square is being denied a new lease by The Hotel Edison management. The diner -- which has served as a hub for the Broadway community for more than 30 years -- is expected to close at the end of 2014 to make way for a new restaurant with a "name chef."
In response, NEWSICAL THE MUSICAL's Christine Pedi and Michael West have released a new video for the campaign, featuring the pair as Liza Minnelli and Larry King. Check it out below (and keep an eye open for ON THE TOWN's Jackie Hoffman!)
An exact closing date has not yet been determined at this time, but an official representative informed BWW that it will be at the end of December.
The story has sparked an outpouring of support from the Broadway community and New Yorkers at large, as well as produced a widely circulated online petition.
