What if you could experience an unforgettable night celebrating an iconic star, surrounded by the grandeur of Pittsburgh's historic Byham Theater, and filled with laughter, music, and heartfelt stories? Join us as we relive the magical evening honoring Shirley Jones for her 90th birthday. We explore the enchanting atmosphere of the Byham Theater and the timeless elegance of the William Penn Omni Hotel, both steeped in history and perfectly suited for such a remarkable celebration. Discover how these prestigious venues added to the allure of the gala dedicated to Shirley's illustrious career in film and television.
We discuss the Broadway stars who were deeply influenced by Shirley--Kelly O'Hara, Sierra Boggess, Jesse Mueller, Adam Pascal, and Norm Lewis. They shared personal tributes through song and story which includes Kelly's first inspiration, Adam's memorable performance with young artists from Pittsburgh CLO, and the delightful camaraderie among Shirley's sons, Patrick, Shaun, and Ryan Cassidy. We also bring into the conversation the Shirley Jones Scholarship, which ensures that future generations of artists can continue to thrive.
In this episode we reveal that this was the first-ever on-stage appearance of all three Cassidy brothers. We are sure that you will agree, that the gala was both interactive and heartwarming. We invite you to stay connected with us for exclusive videos and audio from this unforgettable night, and we encourage you to support the continuation of Shirley's legacy through the scholarship fund. We were honored to be included in celebrating a legendary career and supporting future talents. This was an evening that truly captured the magic of Shirley Jones's enduring influence.
