The Public Theater

Outspoken Elaine Stritch's critically acclaimed autobiographical solo-show.

An evening of the songs and stories from Elaine Stritch's legendary career. She went from standing by for Ethel Merman in Call Me Madam to creating some of her own, and Broadway's, memorable roles. Her first starring role on Broadway came in Goldilocks, and after Noel Coward caught Stritch's performance, he wrote Sail Away for her, but perhaps her most celebrated appearance was in the Stephen Sondheim/George Furth/Harold Prince musical Company. The show featured her signature rendition of the song "The Ladies Who Lunch." Elaine Stritch At Liberty takes the audience along on the journey from her start as an aspiring actress living in a New York City convent, through dates with Brando, international stardom and personal heartbreak.

After a sold-out run at The Public, the show transferred to Broadway's Neil Simon Theater where it opened on February 21, 2002. The award-winning production also received nominations for Drama Desk Awards in the Outstanding Director of a Musical and Outstanding Orchestrations categories, and a Lucille Lortel nomination for Outstanding Actress.
