Tony Award winners Beth Leavel (The Drowsy Chaperone, The Prom) and Jessie Mueller (Beautiful, Waitress) will star in Classic Stage Company's one-night-only benefit concert performance of THE RINK, the 1984 musical featuring a book by Terrence McNally, music by John Kander, and lyrics by Fred Ebb. 

The performance will take place Monday, September 15 at 7 p.m. at CSC’s Lynn F. Angelson Theater.

The evening will be directed by Dave Solomon with music direction by Greg Jarrett, choreography by Shannon Lewis, music supervision by Sam Davis, and casting by Alaine Aldaffer, CSA and Lisa Donadio.

Originally produced on Broadway in 1984 starring Chita Rivera and Liza Minnelli, The Rink follows Italian-American widow Anna as she considers her future amid the crumbling remains of the roller rink she owns. The unexpected return of her estranged daughter Angel triggers an emotional confrontation and reflection on their shared past. With iconic songs including “Colored Lights” and “Chief Cook and Bottle Washer,” the musical explores themes of family, reconciliation, and moving forward.

Ticket prices range from $100 to $500, with underwriting packages starting at $1,000.

I’m sure Tom Kirdahy is pursuing a broadway revival of this right now.

Had a ticket in my cart and had to run out mid-checkout. Came back and it was sold out.

I’d sell my left tit to see these two in anything together.

Why the left tit?

I didn’t even try because I knew it would sell out or anything left would be out of my range. This seems like an odd mother/daughter pairing, but I’m also not intimately familiar with this show so I could be wrong.
