There will be a memorial to Laurie Beechman, the late star of Joseph, Cats and Les Miz, in New York on Monday, April 6. Richard Jay-Alexander -- a close friend of Beechman's and director of her various night-club acts -- is organizing the tribute, which will be held at the Winter Garden Theatre, where Beechman touched audiences for years portraying Grizabella, the Glamour Cat.
The memorial is open to the public and is scheduled to begin at 3 PM.
