Seven hundred and fifty lucky ticketholders enjoyed a spectacular evening with Kevin Spacey, accompanied by a big band, singing songs from the great American songbook, some Billy Joel hits and Bobby Darin classics. Jeff Goldblum made a surprise guest appearance joining Kevin on stage for a duet. The party then continued for VIP guests at Poste Moderne Brasserie at the Hotel Monaco where they enjoyed drinks, a fabulous supper and speeches from Kevin Spacey and Chair, Adrienne Arsht.
‘Kevin Spacey (and Frank Underwood) can sing, alright.’
‘One self-described “huge fan” in attendance, MSNBC broadcaster Andrea Mitchell, thinks Spacey’s philanthropic work is important. “I love what he’s doing for young artists, dancers actors, musicians, filmmakers,” she says, a former violinist, herself. “The fact is that when young people have this kind of support it really makes a huge difference.”’
