It’s always refreshing to see strong, independent and influential women celebrated. And with the help of Meryl Streep, Kristen Bell, Fran Drescher, Laura Benanti, and Kelli O’Hara, we have a unique opportunity to see just that!

On Monday, April 12, Good Housekeeping will host “Shine On,” a one-night only Broadway production, celebrating the magazine’s 125th anniversary. The mag plans to mark it’s anniversary with a salute to influential and inspiring American women of the past 125 years, from Icons to Goddesses and Visionaries to Hellraisers.

Lynne Taylor-Corbett, two-time Tony Award nominee and choreographer of the feature films “Footloose” and “Bewitched,” will direct the play, and proceeds will benefit the National Women’s History Museum. The 90-minute production will feature stars like Meryl and Kristen Bell and additional guests and performers who will be announced in the coming weeks.

“Shine On” honors all types of powerful and intelligent women, specifically those whose imagination and nerve changed our lives forever. Susan B. Anthony, Madonna, Sally Ride, Dorothy Parker, Diane von Furstenberg, Martha Stewart and many more are all part of the inspiration for this show.

To get tickets to the show, head over to NY City Center.
