La Cage is Going Strong – Meet the La Cage Door Girl, Lili

Jerry Herman and Harvey Fierstein’s hilarious musical comedy LA CAGE AUX FOLLES  is quickly approaching their one year anniversary on Broadway.  The  smash-hit, Tony-winning production that garnered RAVE REVIEWS is showing no signs of losing steam.

Winner of the 2010 Tony Award® for BEST MUSICAL REVIVAL, LA CAGE is a tuneful and touching tale of one family’s struggle to stay together… stay fabulous… and above all else, stay true to themselves! Five-time Emmy Award® winner KELSEY GRAMMER (“Frasier”) stars as Georges, the owner of a glitzy nightclub in lovely Saint-Tropez. DOUGLAS HODGE (Broadway’s 2010 Tony-winning BEST ACTOR) stars as his partner Albin, who moonlights as the glamorous chanteuse Zaza. When Georges’ son brings his fiancée’s conservative parents home to meet the flashy pair, the bonds of family are put to the test as the feather boas fly!

With an amazing score of hummable melodies and a dynamite cast featuring the “notorious and dangerous Cagelles,” LA CAGE is an indisputable musical comedy classic… and this extraordinary new version shows you why!

To spice things up, just in time for the holidays, the show has added  Lili (Whiteass) as  La Cage’s Door Girl, greeting and entertaining audiences prior to the show everyday!

From the comic mind, of GLAAD Award winning playwright, William Wyatt (Peachtree Battle, A Sunday Afternoon At Loehmans, The Limousine Ride and Veranda) comes a tale about gay marriage in an ultra conservative household.
 
Bright-eyed hunk Joey (Matthew Pender) has finally met the man of his dreams and ready to take a plunge into marriage. The thought of a gay wedding has Joey’s southern socialite mother Sarah Edwards (Tina McKissick) in quite a tizzy.
 
Worried that the news of her son’s nuptials might jeopardize her chances of winning “Christian of the Year,” Sarah stops at nothing to protect her name, image and reputation. The legendary Lady Bunny co-stars in the play as the power-wielding, Baptist Minister’s Wife, Charity Divine.






The play runs Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays
at 8pm and Sundays at 3pm. …


There is a special Valentines Day
show on Sunday, February 14th at 7pm.
 


Tickets range from $26.00-$30.00
Rows A-C: $30    Rows D-G: $26     

All seating is reserved


 
Tickets can be purchased by calling:
212.388.0388 or by visiting: Theatre 80





Sorry Nick,
I think my heart now belongs to Matthew….sigh

The Queens of Drag – NYC –

Film and TV producer Larry Kennar (L Word, Barbershop and 50 1st Dates), season 4 Project Runway designer Jack Mackenroth and award-winning producer/director and owner of COLT Studio Group, John Rutherford, have come together to produce a television extravaganza called The Queens of Drag: NYC that explores and exploits the glamorous and ghetto-fabulous drag queen scene of New York City.


Drag legend Lady Bunny will reign supreme in this all-star cast of drag divas, which includes the ageless and evergreen Hedda Lettuce, uber-glam Sherry Vine, the hilarious Bianca Del Rio, drag superstar and extremely controversial Kevin Aviance, sexpot songstress Pepper Mint and the classless and campy Mimi Imfurst.

Breakout queens nipping at their platform heels like Epiphany Get Paid, Logan Slaughter, Chandilier Period and Dallas DuBois and will join these ladies of illusion.

The Queens of Drag: NYC will highlight all the talent and drama that is synonymous with making a living as a drag superstar in the most amazing and unforgiving city in the world.

Viewers will see the real grit of drag queens’ lives in and out of drag as they try to dominate the New York nightlife scene and navigate through the struggles of making it in the shiniest, filthiest city in the world.




Multiple networks have already expressed interest in the project, and filming for the pilot began last week.

Information  will be  available  at  The  Queens of Drag.com –  

Some Cast  notes –

Mimi Imfurst is a 7 time Glammy award nominee and 3 time HX Drag Queen of the Year Award Nominee.  Her TV/Film credits include: MTV’s Jackass, The Howard Stern Show, The Real World, and Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist. She was most recently seen in the Diary of Anne Frankenstein (Anne Frankenstein) and is currently playing the Virgin Mary in “The MADONNA’S CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION”.

Dallas DuBois is the newest addition to the New York drag scene. Dallas is a versatile performer, combining everything from Pop to alternative- however, Dallas is known for her Broadway and theater performances. Now, also a Glammy nominee Dallas performs around NYC at several venues including Evolve Bar, and Stonewall Inn. The future isn’t clear for Dallas, but she definitely has bright future and long career ahead of her. 

Kevin Aviance has appeared in several films, including Flawless starring Robert De Niro and the independent film Punks. Besides his feature-film work he has made guest appearances on such shows as the The Tyra Banks Show, and American’s Next Top Model, also hosted by Tyra Banks. His songs “Din Da Daa“, “Rhythm Is My Bitch”, “Alive”, “Give It Up” and “Strut”, have all reached #1 of the Billboard Dance Charts.
