Paul McCartney is co-chairing a one-night-only concert to raise money for the Actors Fund of America.
With an all-star cast to be announced soon, the Actors Fund is proud to present Chance and Chemistry – A Centennial Celebration of the Music of Frank Loesser. Hosted by Annette Bening, Kevin McCollum and Jonathan Tisch, the concert will be directed and choreographed by Christopher Gattelli (South Pacific, Sunday in the Park with George, Altar Boyz) with musical direction by Brad Haak.
Oscar, Pulitzer and Tony Award winner Frank Loesser has been called the most versatile of all Broadway composers, having supplied both music and lyrics for such varied works as Guys & Dolls, Where’s Charley?, The Most Happy Fella and How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying.
The Actors Fund is a nationwide human services organization that helps all professionals in performing arts and entertainment. The Fund is a safety net, providing programs and services for those who are in need, crisis or transition.
Tickets to the show – to be held on October 26 at the Minskoff Theatre in New York – start at $150. More information can be found here.
