New Edgecliff Theatre will celebrate American Theatre’s biggest night of the year with a Tony Party Fundraiser at Tillie’s Lounge in Northside on Sunday June 7. Festivities will begin at 7:00 p.m. Admission is $25.
The evening will feature the simulcast of the annual Tony Awards Ceremony from New York City and include Tony Nominee themed appetizers, entertainment, a cash bar and the traditional Tony Award Pool. Each guest will receive a form listing all the Tony Nominees from the televised ceremony. They will then select a winner in each category. The person who has the most correct guesses will win a pair of tickets to the opening night Pippin, part of the 2015-16 Broadway in Cincinnati Series at the Aronoff Center, and a $50 gift certificate to Taste of Belgium.
Tillie’s Lounge is Northside’s newest nightspot recently opened by Nigel Cotterill and J.C. Diaz. The duo also ownBelow Zero Lounge in Over the Rhine. Located at 4042 Hamilton Avenue, the lounge is named for Tillie the elephant of the Terrace Park-based Robinson Circus, a popular traveling show in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She once paraded down the streets of Northside and she had a larger-than-life story, even for an elephant. When she died on Jan. 17, 1932, it was front page news in The Enquirer, which noted her “heroic deeds, service to humanity and outstanding achievements in her role as an entertainer.”
