Kathie Lee Gifford will appear at Seattle’s 5th Avenue Theatre’s Spotlight Night on Saturday, September 10 at 7pm. The event will preview the new musical Saving Aimee, which has a book and lyrics by Gifford and music by David Pomeranz and David Friedman, and which will run September 30-October 30.

Saving Aimee revisits the real-life story of 1920’s evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson, who catapulted to unexpected stardom as the founder of the first mega-church and a media empire.


The event will be comprised of interviews, along with excerpts from the musical, which stars Carolee Carmello, Judy Kaye, Brandon O’Neill, Charles Leggett, Ed Watts, and Ed Dixon. Pomeranz and Friedman will also be on hand for the event.

Gifford is currently a co-host of NBC’s Today Show and is well known for her work on the daytime series Live! With Regis and Kathie Lee. She previously co-authored the musical Under the Bridge.
