The Al Hirschfeld Theatre celebrated its 100th birthday November 11, and to celebrate, theatre owner ATG Entertainment hosted an intimate ceremony to reveal a special piece commissioned from Broadway caricaturist Justin "Squigs" Robertson.
Ted Stimpson, Global CEO of ATG Entertainment, and Jordan Roth, ATG Entertainment’s Creative Director, gave a toast to celebrate the 100th anniversary, the legacy Hirschfeld created in the American theatre, and to unveil Squigs’ piece that features over 100 artists who have performed at the venue throughout the years.
Guests in attendance, many of whom are featured in the piece, included Peter Gallagher (Guys & Dolls), Danny Burstein (Moulin Rouge!), Stark Sands (Kinky Boots), J. Harrison Ghee (Kinky Boots), Alex Timbers (Moulin Rouge!), Jerry Mitchell (Kinky Boots), Jerry Zaks (Guys & Dolls), Louise Kerz Hirschfeld and more.
An interactive rendering of the caricature, which features identifying and biographical information on all of the individuals depicted, can be viewed here.
