Expected guests include Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin, Glenn Close, Cynthia Nixon, Kathleen Turner, Neil Patrick Harris, Jane Krakowski, Julianna Margulies, Nora Ephron, and S. Epatha Merkerson.

Directed by Oskar Eustis, Hamlet will feature Michael Stuhlbarg, Andre Braugher, Margaret Colin, Lauren Ambrose, David Harbour, Jay O. Sanders, and Sam Waterston.

The gala includes a pre-show dinner beginning at 5:30pm, the performance at 8pm, and a post-performance party with the cast at Belvedere Castle. For tickets and information, call 212-539-8547 or email gala08@publictheater.org.
