Our Guest Artist: Joel Grey
September 25, 2010 at 8 pm
Hailed as “The quintessential song-and-dance man,” by The Washington Post, Joel Grey has spent more than 50 years starring on Broadway, television, and film. Best known for his scenestealing role as the demonic emcee in the Broadway and film versions of Cabaret, this charismatic entertainer is one of only eight actors to win both a Tony and an Oscar for the same role. Recent stage credits include the Wizard in Wicked, Roxie Hart’s milquetoast husband in the revival of Chicago, and he starred in the lead role in George M!, Goodtime Charlie, and The Grand Tour, winning a Tony Award for Best Actor in each role.
Recent television appearances include roles on Grey’s Anatomy, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, and House. For this performance, Grey joins a twenty-piece orchestra to take the audience on a virtual tour of his career—singing, dancing, and storytelling—performing songs by Kander & Ebb, Rodgers and Hart, Billy Joel and more.
