Elaine Stritch to make her last stage appearance before moving back to her home in Michigan

Elaine Stritch says that after one more outing onstage, she is going to stop living in the Carlyle Hotel and move back home to Birmingham, Michigan. (Nonsense! I won't allow it.) Elaine likes to add that she won't retire until disgraced theater producer Garth Drabinsky has a parole hearing and gets out of prison. Stritch insists: "He may not be innocent of defrauding donators to Lincoln Center, but he is still the greatest living producer! And he and I have another show in us!"

I could see her and Clint Eastwood in a revival of
Ionesco's THE CHAIRS.

It sounds like, from reports of her last appearances that this is probably for the best. But then if Drabinsky gets out anytime soon she's gonna come out of retirement? :P
