Stephanie J. Block, who earned a Tony Award earlier this year for her performance in The Cher Show, will celebrate another first in 2020: a debut at Manhattan's famed Café Carlyle. The Wicked and Falsettos alum will take the stage February 11–15, 2020.
Block is among the names newly announced for the Carlyle's winter and spring seasons. The 2020 lineup will kick off January 14–18 with Hamilton Leithauser's third annual winter residency ahead of the release of his second solo LP. Fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi will follow January 21–February 8, trading the runway for the cabaret stage with a show titled Movie Stars and Supermodels.
The roster also includes the March 10–21 return of Tony winner Betty Buckley, fresh from headlining the national tour of Hello, Dolly!, singer-songwriter Belinda Carlisle (June 1–13), and Emmy-winning The Nanny star and Broadway alum Fran Drescher (June 16–20).
Playbill raises the curtain for Broadway's brightest born in May, including 2024 Tony nominees for Best Original Score and Best Featured Actress in a Musical.
