The ALS Association Golden West Chapter is excited to announce the addition of Emmy, Golden Globe, and Tony Award honoree Hal Linden and Tony Award winner John Lloyd Young to the cast of the 3rd annual ONE STARRY NIGHT: A Special Performance Dedicated to Conquering ALS. The event is a musical and entertainment extravaganza to be held on Monday, August 15, 2016 at the Pasadena Playhouse. The public is invited to join Honorary Co-Chairs pop superstar Miley Cyrus and Pilates guru Mari Winsor for this one-night-only benefit in support of the ALS community which features performances and appearances by an exciting gathering of Broadway and Hollywood talent.
As a beloved American actor, singer and musician whose career has spanned more than 65 years with memorable roles on stage, television, in film, Linden is perhaps best known for his portrayal of police precinct captain on the hit ABC television series BARNEY MILLER, earning multiple Golden Globe and Emmy nominations for his work. His outstanding work led to many roles on both the big and small screen. To date, he has performed in more than 20 Broadway and Off Broadway productions.
John Lloyd Young is the star of Clint Eastwood’s film adaptation of the Broadway and international stage hit, JERSEY BOYS. Having originated the role of "Frankie Valli" in the original Broadway production, Mr. Young joins a select few actors in entertainment history who took their Tony-winning stage role to the big screen. As Valli onstage, Young became the only American actor in history to win all four major leading actor honors in a Broadway debut: the Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Theatre World awards.
Proceeds will provide funding for The ALS Association Golden West Chapter’s mission critical priorities in care services, public policy, and cutting-edge global research toward treatments and cure for ALS. The evening will also include a pre-show reception, silent auction, and post-show dessert with a special “meet-and-greet” with the cast. Grammy Award-nominee Bruce Kimmel will direct the production, with musical direction and orchestrations provided by Richard Allen.
This star-studded event is produced by Juliana Hansen, Patty Ramsey, Melissa Verdugo, and Patrick McMinn, and has a growing list of presenters and performers which includes (in alphabetical order) Jason Alexander (“Seinfeld”, “Jerome Robbins Broadway”), Carly Bracco (“Grease Live!”), Juliana Hansen (NBC’s “Grease, You're The One That I Want!”), Bill Hayes (“Days of our Lives”), Jean Louisa Kelly (“Into the Woods”), Scott Land (variety performer), Wendy Liebman (Comedian), Hal Linden (“Barney Miller”), Kate Linder (“Young and the Restless”), Reagan Pasternak (Disney Channel's "In A Heartbeat,"), Valarie Pettiford (“Fosse”), Adam Ray (“Ghostbusters,” “Spy”), Richard Sherman (Disney's “Mary Poppins”, “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”, “The Jungle Book”), Sami Staitman (“House of Lies,” Funny or Die’s “Big”), Danny Stiles, (Broadway and Stage Actor), Mari Winsor (Co-Chair/Presenter), Jo Anne Worley(“Wicked” Rowan & Martin’s “Laugh In”), Robert Yako (Broadway, Film and TV actor), John Lloyd Young (“Jersey Boys”), and more to be announced.
