n the grand tapestry of Manhattan, a legendary performer's penthouse has taken center stage. Tommy Tune, the Tony Award-winning maestro of dance and drama, is relisting his Beekman/Sutton Place dwelling for $2.9 million.

    This 900-square-foot one-bedroom gem, nestled in the Emery Roth-designed building known as The Tower, boasts a show-stopping 2,075-square-foot terrace that has hosted its fair share of unforgettable soirees. Tune recalls a particularly memorable bash for Carol Channing, where 200 Broadway friends gathered to celebrate.

    The penthouse's pièce de résistance is its sprawling outdoor space, which offers breathtaking views of the river and cityscape. "I love hosting parties on my terrace," Tune says with a grin. "It's like having my own private theater." The Tower's unique layout, with a flight of stairs leading up to it, only adds to its charm.

    Tune has made this penthouse his creative haven, producing over 100 paintings within its walls. He also appreciates the building's co-op community, where he's gotten to know his neighbors – including Uma Thurman – on the quiet dead-end street of 52nd Street.

    Inside, the penthouse features 13-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, and plenty of windows to take in the scenic views. The great room flows into a dining area and chef's kitchen, while the sunlit bedroom is a peaceful retreat. A landscaped roof deck with an outdoor shower and artist's sink adds to the property's allure.

    Tune purchased this penthouse in 2007 for around $1.3 million and has since become a fixture in the building's community. As he prepares to pass on the torch, Douglas Elliman broker Kelly Killoren Bensimon notes that this iconic living space is a rare find in the heart of Beekman and Sutton Place.

    "With supply and demand at an all-time high, this penthouse is like finding a needle in a haystack," Bensimon says. "It's a true gem, and we're excited to share it with potential buyers."
