NYC: 'LIKE ME' A SONG CYCLE: MUSIC & LYRICS BY GARRY LAKE
'Like Me' a Song Cycle: Music & Lyrics by Garry Lake, starring Mig Ayesa, will be presented at THE DUPLEX CABARET THEATRE (61 Christopher Street, NYC - 212-255-5438) on Monday through Wednesday, January 27th through 29th at 9:30 pm. Social Media and social networking has become part of everyday life for the majority. In some cases our online/cyber persona is somewhat more prolific than our mortal. Relationships are formed and broken, Webs of lies are spun, and the mundane thoughts of thousands of so called 'friends' & 'Followeres' are posted so eloquently every minute, as if delivering cyber sermons to achieve online success for being so witty and profound. Like me is a new original song cycle that steps back to comment on this fascinating addiction that we have all fallen for. Written by British composer Garry lake who is also the creator of Londons answer to forbidden broadway 'Jest End'. Mig Ayesa made his Broadway debut in Burn The Floor in Jan 2010, as well as toured with the show to Australia, Japan, Korea, Canada, and USA. September 2010, Ayesa opened the 1st National Tour of Rock of Ages, as the legendary rocker 'Stacee Jaxx'. March 2011, Ayesa returned to Broadway to reprise his role as 'Stacee Jaxx' for the show's reopening at the Helen Hayes Theatre. There is a $15 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.

NYC: THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND
After sold out runs in 2009 & 2010, Thank You For Being A Friend returns to THE WEST BANK CAFE/LAURIE BEECHMAN THEATRE (407 West 42nd Street, NYC - 212-695-6909) for its third limited-run engagement. Performances are Wednesdays in January at 7:00 pm, with an additional performance on Friday, the 31st. This unauthorized musical parody inspired by the beloved TV sitcom "The Golden Girls," features book by Nick Brennan, music by Jeff Thomson, and lyrics by Luke Jones and Cisco Cardenas. In the show four women over 60 (Blanchette, the varicose-veined vixen; Dorthea, the brainy ball-buster; Roz, the lovable airhead; and Sophie, the wisecracking spitfire) are spending their golden years together in a wicker-filled bungalow in Miami. But when gay pop superstar Ricky Martin moves next door, his loud outdoor sex parties keep the quartet of cheesecake-loving retirees awake. The solution pits the gays against the girls at the annual Shady Oaks Retirement Home Talent Show: if the women win, then no more sex parties; if the gays garner top prize, the sassy seniors must serve as the party's clean-up crew. Singing, dancing and hilarity ensues! This newly revised production will feature original cast members Chad Ryan, Luke Jones, and Nick Brennan with newcomer John De Los Santos. The production team features Jonathan Pennington (Director), Cisco Cardanez (Assistant Director/Stage Manager), John De Los Santos (Choreographer), Luke Jones and Nick Brennan (Set Design), Timothy Hart (Lighting), Jessa-Raye Court (Costumes) and Doug Repetti (Sound).
