| The honorees: George Clooney, Amy Grant, Gladys Knight, Tania Leon and U2. (Taking part will be Ariana DeBose, Chita Rivera and Patti LaBelle.) It looked like U2 was the only honoree with a direct Broadway link, since Bono and the Edge wrote songs for ''Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.'' But it turns out that Gladys Knight and the Pips did a one-week run on Broadway in 1984, and she guest-starred in ''Smokey Joe's Cafe.'' Tania Leon is celebrated as Cuban-American composer, but she also conducted the 1984 Broadway musical of ''The Human Comedy.'' As for George Clooney, his aunt Rosemary Clooney was married to 4-time Tony winner Jose Ferrer (who earlier was wed to Uta Hagen). Couldn't find a Broadway tie-in for Amy Grant, but maybe someone else here knows ones I'm missing, plus any other Broadway links. |
