Michael Mayer, Margaret Whiting to Be Honored at Name That Tune Benefit

Tony Award-winning director Michael Mayer and legendary singer Margaret Whiting will be honored at The American Songbook Project’s Name That Tune Costume Party Benefit, in which attendees are asked to come dressed as a song title. The event will be held at the Edison Ballroom on November 6 at 7pm.

Mayer won the Tony for Spring Awakening and a Drama Desk for American Idiot. He will also be directing a new version of the Alan Jay Lerner-Burton Lane musical On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, at the Vineyard Theatre in January.

Whiting first gained fame as a singer in the 1940s. She appeared on Broadway in the musical revue Dream, and also starred in touring productions of Gypsy, Call Me Madam, and Pal Joey.
