The Crane Club looks like the kind of place Don Draper would hang, and there was even a de facto “Mad Men” reunion at the Chelsea hotspot Friday night.
Series star Jon Hamm, 54, made a beeline for the show’s creator Matt Weiner, 59, when he saw him chatting with San Vicente Bungalows guru Jeff Klein and producer John Goldwyn at CAA’s starry New York Party in advance of the Tonys.
Looking dapper in a suit, Hamm — fresh off his new hit “Your Friends & Neighbors” — was at the bash with wife Anna Osceola.
Miley Cyrus, 32, had some fun with a fotog by taking their camera and turning it on them, while “The Whale” star Brendan Fraser held court at a back banquette nearby.
Cyrus — who signed with CAA last year — also hit the dancefloor to tunes by DJ Daisy O’Dell.
“Baby Driver” star Ansel Elgort was in deep convo with “Kraven the Hunter” director J.C. Chandor, and guests also included “Fleabag” hot priest Andrew Scott, Nicole Scherzinger, Tom Francis, Jonathan Groff, Darren Criss, Leslie Odom Jr., Adam Lambert, Danielle Brooks, Daveed Diggs, Benj Pasek, Justin Paul, Marc Shaiman, Scott Wittman and Ariana DeBose.
The head of CAA’s theater department, power agent Joe Machota, presided over the chic affair.
Hamm recently told The Hollywood Reporter of being cast in “Mad Men” by Weiner: “The whole point of this show is that nobody knows who this guy is… You can’t put — for one of the better examples — Rob Lowe into this show. It would be weird. You would go, ‘Oh, it’s the Rob Lowe show. Like, okay, cool.’ So that actually worked to my benefit rather than against me.”
The 78th annual Tony Awards goes down on Sunday at NYC’s famed Radio City Music Hall, and will air live on CBS and stream on Paramount+.
In another recent get for the agency, famed “Wicked” composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz recently signed with CAA on the heels of the hit film adaptation that’s the top grossing film adaptation of a Broadway show.
