TODAY IN L.A.: SOPHIE PLAYS THE MAGIC CASTLE
Sharon McNight brings her Sophie Tucker tribute show RED HOT MAMA to THE INNER CIRCLE AT THE MAGIC CASTLE (7001 Franklin Avenue, Hollywood, CA - 323-851-3313 x303 ) on Sunday & Monday, October 10th & 11th at 8:00 pm. "The Sophie Tucker Songbook" debuted at New York's Rainbow & Stars as part of an ASCAP Sunday night showcase March '96. Since then, Sharon developed it into a one-woman musical, Red Hot Mama, which was workshopped at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts and Lucille Lortell's White Barn Theatre, and has finished a successful three month run Off-Broadway at the York Theatre. Her regional credits include Amanda McBroom's Heartbeats at the Pasadena Playhouse, and an award winning Dolly in Hello Dolly at the Peninsula Civic Light Opera (a role she repeated in her hometown, Modesto). Sharon was Sister Hubert in Nunsense in Los Angeles and San Francisco, where she received the Bay Area Critics Circle Award for "Best Performance in a Musical". She is the narrator of the documentary, "There That Night," the story of the Provincetown, Massachusetts fire, and was featured in the recent A & E documentary, "It's Burlesque", for her research on Mae West and Sophie Tucker. She is a master teacher on the faculty of the Yale Cabaret Symposium. Call for cover/minimum information.
