Two tickets to a matinee of "Love Hangover: LaChanze Sings Diana Ross" on Sunday, June 2, at famed Broadway venue 54 Below. Meet Tony Award-winning LaChanze, get her photograph and autograph and enjoy a backstage tour.
One of Broadway’s most celebrated, powerhouse voices takes to the stage at 54 Below in salute of Diana Ross, a woman who broke barriers and challenged stereotypes throughout her legendary career. "Love Hangover," "Do You Know Where You’re Goin’ To?," "Endless Love" and "Good Morning, Heartache" are just a few of the tunes forever linked with this formidable artist (who won a Tony for 1977’s An Evening with Diana Ross). And who better to celebrate this music than another formidable artist? LaChanze, a Tony, Emmy, Obie and Theatre World Award winner, is best known for her show-stopping performances in The Color Purple, Dessa Rose & Once on This Island, among others. She has been seen on film and television, including The Help, Leap of Faith, For Love or Money, Hercules, Sex and the City, Law and Order, Lucy, and more. Be there..and remember, "Ain’t No Mountain High Enough"!
Two nights at the Trump Towers on the Upper West Side (Lincoln Center @ 68th). Relax in a large studio - almost 700 square feet - complete with king bed and pullout sofa. The Trump Towers offers impeccable full service, including a gym in the building and a fleet of cars parked out front (just waiting to whisk you to Broadway!). If you need something, chances are it's available.
Before the show, stop in for dinner at famed NY restaurant Chin Chin. Open since 1987, Chin Chin is New York's premier destination for haute Chinese cuisine. The menu features ingredients from around the world, prepared with Asian techniques and spices - a far cry from your neighborhood General Tso's. The Grand Marnier prawns (a Frank Bruni favorite) have proven to be the crowd-luring dish while the minced squab in lettuce wraps have also lasted the test of time.
Zagat hails owner Jimmy Chin as one of New York's most gracious hosts year after year. Enjoy your $150 gift certificate to this wonderful New York hotspot!
And there's more...you will also receive an amazing package of signed, Broadway items!
