Nathan Lane, Lena Hall, Holland Taylor and Liz Smith have joined the previously announced star-studded lineup of EVERYBODY, RISE! A CELEBRATION OF ELAINE STRITCH, a tribute to the life and career of the legendary actress. Constructed by George C. Wolfe, the event will be held on Monday, November 17th at 4pm at The Al Hirschfeld Theatre 302 West 45th Street. Rob Bowman, Elaine's long time musical director, will serve as musical director for the event.

Launching today, a limited number of tickets are now available to the general public via electronic lottery. Members of the public can enter the lottery by filling out their names and email address at www.jujamcyn.com/everybody-rise.html. Winners will be drawn and notified via email on Saturday November 15th. Those selected to receive a pair of tickets will get an email confirmation. All tickets must be picked up between 3:00pm and 3:45pm at Will Call at the Al Hirschfeld Theater. Tickets not be picked up by 3:45pm on the day of the event will be forfeited.

Additionally, there will be a standby line at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre for tickets that may become available the day of the event, starting at 1pm on Monday, November 17th.

In addition to Nathan Lane, Lena Hall, Holland Taylor and Liz Smith, the tribute will feature reminiscences by Hunter Ryan Herdlicka, Julie Keyes, plus a few additional surprise guests.

With a Tony and Emmy Award-winning career that stretched from her stage debut in 1944 - through career triumphs in Sail Away, Company, and Elaine Stritch: At Liberty - to her final role on the boards in A Little Night Music in 2010, Elaine Stritch's whiskey-soaked voice, wry comic timing, and reputation as a sharp-tongued, unapologetically audacious personality cemented her as a bona fide legend of stage and screen.

Ms. Stritch passed away on July 17th, 2014 at the age of 89.

The Honorary Producing Committee for EVERYBODY, RISE! A CELEBRATION OF ELAINE STRITCH is: Chiemi Karasawa, Carol Fineman, Rob Bowman, Hunter Ryan Herdlicka, Julie Keyes, Rick Borutta, Cheryl Wiesenfeld, Joseph Rosenthal, Mindy Cohn and Will Gaines.

EVERYBODY, RISE! A CELEBRATION OF ELAINE STRITCH is presented by Isotope Films and IAC/Barry Diller in association with Jujamcyn Theaters and HBO Documentary Films.
