Item Description

Her Playbill bio rightly notes, "She has enjoyed a career with precedent." A star of movies and television, her work on screen spans more than 65 years, from GASLIGHT, The Manchurian Candidate and Beauty and the Beast to a 12-year run on TV as Jessica Fletcher on Murder, She Wrote. But it is her unparalleled career on the stage that makes her one of Broadway’s most beloved and highly acclaimed actresses. Since her debut in HOTEL PARADISO in 1957, she has appeared in nearly two dozen Broadway shows, earning Tony Awards for her show-stopping performances in MAME, DEAR WORLD, GYPSY, and SWEENEY TODD and, most recently, the acclaimed revival of BLITHE SPIRIT. 

 

The star of last season’s stellar revival of THE BEST MAN, Broadway's beloved first lady is Angela Lansbury. And we have an unprecedented offer for you.

 

  • You and a guest will have the extraordinary opportunity to join Ms. Lansbury for lunch at Trattoria dell’Arte, one of her favorite restaurants in the theatre district. Over a glass of wine, ask Ms. Lansbury about working with Jerry Herman, Stephen Sondheim and a host of actors and actresses with whom she has shared stage and screen.   
  • Take home today a framed gallery print of Rivka Katvan’s portrait of Ms. Lansbury at her dressing table backstage at the Music Box Theatre during the 2007 run of Terrence McNally’s DEUCE, signed by Ms. Lansbury.

 

With special thanks to Angela Lansbury, Rivka Katvan and Robert Callely
