Elaine Stritch Returns Cafe Carlyle for 13 Encore Performances, 3/22

Erich Steinbock, Managing Director of The Carlyle Hotel, announced today that the Café Carlyle will present 13 encore performances of "At Home At The Carlyle: Elaine Stritch Singin' Sondheim. . . One Song At A Time." Ms. Stritch's triumphant, SRO, run ended last night on the legendary performers 85th Birthday.

Mr. Steinbock commented, "There has never been a greater demand at The Café Carlyle than for Ms. Stritch's latest show. We have turned dozens of patrons away each night, and felt that it would be a shame not to make this extraordinary ‘happening' available to as many fans as possible."

Ms. Stritch will return with "At Home At The Carlyle: Elaine Stritch Singin' Sondheim. . . One Song At A Time" for three special Monday evening performances (March 22, March 29 and April 5), and then go on to play Tuesday through Saturday evenings beginning Tuesday, April 20 (through Saturday, May 1). All shows will begin at 8:45 P.M.

There is a $125 music charge for all performances. Dinner is required for all shows. There will be dinner seating's at 6:30pm, 7:00pm and 7:30pm. The Café Carlyle is located within The Carlyle Hotel (35 East 76th Street at Madison Avenue). For reservations, call (212) 744-1600.

The iconic musical theater careers of Ms. Stritch and Stephen Sondheim (who himself turns 80 on March 22) are inextricably linked, and this new show is the culmination of a personal and professional relationship that has spanned the better part of four decades. In "At Home At The Carlyle: Elaine Stritch Singin' Sondheim. . . One Song At A Time," Ms. Stritch will perform the music of Mr. Sondheim, orchestrated by Tony, Oscar, Grammy and Emmy Award-winner Jonathan Tunick.
