The Glass Menagerie is scheduled to open March 9 at the John Golden Theatre. P.

It’s a one-of-a kind and gorgeous gift from one legendary star to another. David Bowie made his celebrated Broadway debut on September 23, 1980, playing the title role in the Tony Awardwinning play The Elephant Man. He performed the role through January 3, 1981. Mr. Bowie starred opposite Tony Award winner and Broadway’s beloved Patricia Elliott, who played the role of Mrs. Kendal. For that Christmas, Mr. Bowie gave Ms. Elliot a silver pin of the iconic Elephant Man logo made especially for her. Still in its original jewel box, the back of the pin is engraved: “To Pat. Xmas 1980. David.” Included is the original gift card to Ms. Elliott, signed by Mr. Bowie. Mr. Bowie passed away on January 10, 2016. In October 2015, just weeks before her death on December 15, Ms. Elliott wrote: “When I was in The Elephant Man with David Bowie, I was so taken with this man’s genuineness and breathtaking talent. It was his first play and he allowed himself to be completely vulnerable. He asked the director, Jack Hofsiss, and the other actors to guide him into new territory. After a while, we had achieved such a rapport, our scenes together were like walking off clouds - complete communication and trust.” This incredibly beautiful and delicate gift marks the intersection of three great artists, all recently lost: Patricia Elliott (July 21, 1938 – December 20, 2015); David Bowie (January 8, 1947 – January 10, 2016) and Jack Hofsiss (September 28, 1950 – September 13, 2016).

YOU’LL FEEL THE EARTH MOVE UNDER YOUR FEET WHEN YOU’VE GOT A WALK-ON IN BEAUTIFUL - THE CAROLE KING MUSICAL Your two guests won’t be “so far away” as they sit in VIP house seats as you make “some kind of wonderful” walk-on “on Broadway” in the Tony Award-winning smash hit Beautiful - The Carole King Musical. This is an extraordinary chance to take to the stage of the Stephen Sondheim Theatre with the outstanding cast and watch the backstage workings of one of Broadway’s biggest hits. ● ●
●
● ●
Begin by having rehearsal with the stage management team and being taken to wardrobe for your 1960s-period costume. You will discuss with stage managers which scene you will best fit into in the show. College students will join Chilina Kennedy (who embodies Carole King) around the piano when she meets her future songwriting partner and husband, Gerry Goffin (played by Jake Epstein). Following that scene you will then step into the world of 1650 Broadway, the legendary building where the hits of the ’60s were written and music’s most legendary songwriters discovered at Don Kirschner’s Aldon Music. Adult walk-ons will share a table in Act 2 at the Bitter End with the “Uptown Singer” and the band, as Carole King meets up with friends Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil (played by Ben Jacoby and Jessica Keenan Wynn). You will see how Carole King’s world is recreated onstage when you watch the show from unique vantage points during the show: in the pit with musicians; stage right and stage left with the crew; from the booth with sound technicians and from “air traffic control” - the stage manager’s booth backstage. From here you’ll see it all as only Broadway professionals do. After the show, your guests will join you backstage to congratulate you and get a tour. Take home a Beautiful poster signed by the cast to mark this special “one fine day.”
