MIAC Live: Claybourne Elder - If The Stars Were Mine

About this event

Claybourne Elder is a GRAMMY, Screen Actors Guild Award, Drama Desk, and Lucille Lortel nominee. He played John Adams on the first three seasons of HBO's hit series "The Gilded Age" and was most recently seen on Broadway in the Tony Award-winning revival of "Company" starring Patti LuPone. He is known for his performances in "Bonnie and Clyde," "Sunday in the Park with George," "Torch Song," and "Sondheim on Sondheim" at the Hollywood Bowl. Other New York stage credits include "The Wild Party" at New York City Center, "Road Show" at the Public Theater, "Strike Up the Band" at Carnegie Hall, "Do I Hear a Waltz?" at New York City Center, and "Allegro" at Classic Stage. "If the Stars Were Mine" is a hilarious and heartfelt evening that's part cabaret, part stand-up. Praised for his warmth, candor, and disarming charm, Elder moves fluidly between songs and stories—pairing classics from the Great American Songbook and Stephen Sondheim with unexpected pop moments and deeply personal reflections. Come see why critics call him "handsome and intense" (Observer), "tough and tender" (New York Daily News), and "as stupid funny as he is drop-dead buff" (The Wrap).
