Sunday at 3 PM
May 6th - June 27, 2010
Downstairs Cabaret Theatre at Sofia's
Entertainment Events
Productions today announced that, due to popular
demand, the acclaimed Off-Broadway production
of the smash UK hit GIRLS NIGHT: THE MUSICAL,
written by Louise Roche and directed by Jack
Randle, will return to New York for its third
engagement beginning May 6th for eight weeks
only. Performances will continue through June
27th only, at the Downstairs Cabaret Theatre
at Sofia’s (227 West 46th Street, next
to the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre).??
Girls Night: The Musical has earned rave reviews
playing packed houses throughout the United
Kingdom since 2003. It premiered in the US
in May 2007 and has toured across the country
since then. It has been described as “’Desperate
Housewives’ meets Mamma Mia!”
(Applause Magazine), “a boisterous,
bust-out, bawdy musical revue” (Wisconsin
State Journal), “An infectious, exhilarating
sense of intoxication!” (Hollywood Reporter)
and “As funny and outrageous as ‘Sex
and the City’!” (The Advocate).
?Hilarious and touching, Girls Night: The
Musical follows five friends in their 30s
and 40s during a wild and outrageous girls
night out at a karaoke bar. Friends since
their teens, they have all had their fair
share of heartache and tragedy, joy and success.
Among the characters are Carol the party girl,
blunt Anita who tells it like it is, Liza
with her marital (and eating) issues, boring
Kate the designated driver, and Sharon, the
not-so-angelic angel who just couldn’t
resist tagging along. Together, they reminisce
about their younger days, celebrate their
current lives and look to the future, all
the while belting out an array of classic
anthems such as “I Will Survive,”
“Lady Marmalade,” “It’s
Raining Men,” “Man I Feel Like
a Woman,” and “Girls Just Want
to Have Fun.”
Tickets are $55 and may be purchased online
at www.girlsnightthemusical.com or by phone
at 212/947-9300.

Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner
invite you to My Trip Down The Pink Carpet,
written by and starring Leslie Jordan, a laugh-out-loud
take on Hollywood, fame, addiction, gay culture,
and learning to love oneself.
A theatrical romp -- from small-town USA to
the pink carpet of Hollywood -- My Trip Down
The Pink Carpet tells the unlikely tale of
one of America's true comic icons. Raised
in a conservative family in Chattanooga, Tennessee,
Leslie Jordan boarded a Greyhound bus bound
for L.A. with $1,200 sewn into his underpants
and never looked back. His pocket-sized physique
and inescapable talent for high camp paved
the way to a big career in commercials and
on television. Along the way he immersed himself
in writing for the stage, and his one-man
testimonials have become cult hits. But with
success came dangerous temptations that threatened
his career and life. With hundreds of television
shows, films and commercials to his credit,
Leslie has become a familiar face on the entertainment
scene. He is the 2006 Emmy Award Winner for
Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series
for his delicious portrayal of "Beverley
Leslie" on "Will and Grace."
Television audiences will also remember Leslie
in recurring roles on "Ugly Betty,"
"Boston Legal," "Hidden Palms,"
and "Reba."

THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS,
the provocative and wickedly funny theatrical
adaptation of the C.S. Lewis novel about
spiritual warfare from a demon’s
point of view, will feature an exclusive
one-night-only performance and post-show
talk-back discussion with Douglas Gresham,
the son of C.S. Lewis, well-known author
and Chronicles of Narnia producer; and
star Max McLean at the Westside Theatre,
407 West 43rd Street, New York on Friday,
June 11 at 8 p.m. Tickets to the not-to-be-missed
event are available by calling 212.239.6200
or visiting www.telecharge.com. THE SCREWTAPE
LETTERS is currently on sale through September
5.
Douglas Gresham will
join Max McLean, THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS
star who co-adapted the novel for the
stage to discuss the creative process
of bringing C.S. Lewis’ novel to
life as well as the impact the theologian’s
work continues to have on modern Christianity.
Gresham will also discuss his personal
relationship with C.S. Lewis, who married
his mother, Joy Davidman, in 1956 and
adopted Gresham and his brother David
the same year. After their mother’s
death in 1960, C.S. Lewis continued to
raise both boys and dedicated the popular
novel The Horse and His Boy to
the children. Gresham was a producer of
the hit films The Lion, The Witch,
and The Wardrobe and Prince Caspian.
He is also a producer of The Voyage
of the Dawn Treader, the third film
in the Chronicles of Narnia series, and
the author of the autobiography Lenten
Lands: My Childhood with Joy Davidman
and C.S. Lewis and Jack's Life:
The Life Story of C.S. Lewis.
Adapting this novel
to the stage, Jeffrey Fiske and Max McLean
focused tightly on the novel’s arc
of how to entice the mind of a human “patient”
toward damnation. In this inverted moral
universe set in an office in hell, God
is called the “Enemy” and
the devil is referred to as “Our
Father below.”

The DR 2 Theatre
ZERO HOUR,
Jim Brochu’s acclaimed play about
the life of theatre legend Zero Mostel will
move to the DR2 Theatre (103 East 15th Street)
for an open-ended Off-Broadway engagement,
beginning February 24th. Zero Hour is presented
by Kurt Peterson and Edmund Gaynes in association
with Peccadillo Theater Company and directed
by Piper Laurie.
Three-time Academy Award nominee Piper Laurie
directs the production. Starring Jim Brochu
as Zero Mostel, ZERO HOUR is set at Mostel’s
West 28th Street painting studio where a
naïve reporter attempts to interview
the famously volatile actor, prompting an
explosion of memory, humor, outrage, and
juicy backstage lore. It is July 1977 and
the actor is giving his final interview
before leaving for the pre-Broadway tryout
of The Merchant in Philadelphia. Mostel
only played one performance as Shylock before
his sudden death at the age of 62. ZERO
HOUR traces Mostel's early days growing
up on the Lower East Side as the son of
Orthodox Jewish immigrant parents, through
his rise as a stand-up comedian, from the
Borscht Belt to Manhattan's most exclusive
supper clubs, and from the devastation of
the blacklist to his greatest Broadway triumphs,
most notably as Tevye in Fiddler on the
Roof and working through his love-hate relationship
with Jerome Robbins.
Tickets are $59.50 and are available through
Telecharge.com 212-239-6200. For more information,
