Bea Arthur Back at the El Portal

Back by popular demand!

Bea Arthur and Billy Goldenberg return to the El Portal with their Tony nominated show. David Nichols of the Los Angeles Times said this of her first engagement at El Portal in 2004: ” (Bea) generates howls from an audience that hangs on her every deadpan word, no matter how blue… remind(s) you that the best comedians play from a wellspring of darker emotions.” Julio Martinez of Daily Variety added “Her superb comic timing was on ample display throughout this trip down memory lane… (with) Billy Goldenberg serving as both foil and ally… proving that a gifted comic actor can make anything funny…”

In the show (with the subtitle of Just Between Friends), Bea recalls the highlights of her remarkable stage and television career intertwined with favorite songs by Cy Coleman, Jerry Herman, Stephen Sondheim, Marilyn and Alan Bergman and many more.
