Kevin Spacey will show off his vocal talents alongside Elton John at a fund-raiser next month for a historic London theater.
The pair will perform a duet of some of John's hit songs at a Feb. 5 benefit for the Old Vic, organizers said Thursday. John is chairman of the Old Vic Theater Trust, which bought the 185-year-old theater in 1998 when it was in danger of closing.
Built in 1818, the Old Vic was for generations the proving ground of British actors, and is the former home of Laurence Olivier's National Theater company. But the venue has struggled to forge an identity for itself since the trust took it over from Canadian owners Ed and David Mirvish five years ago.
