NYC: ANITA GILLETTE & PENNY FULLER AT 54 BELOW
Two beloved, Tony-nominated Broadway actresses, Anita Gillette & Penny Fuller return to 54 BELOW (254 West 54th Street, NYC - 646-476-3551) on Sunday, March 30th at 7:00 pm with their acclaimed show 'Sin Twisters'. The pair join forces for a delectable evening of humorous reflection and harmonious song in Sin Twisters, a show with a devilish spoonerism of a title. On the streets of Manhattan and Los Angeles, these vibrant and savvy veterans of over two dozen Broadway productions, as well as countless films and television shows, are constantly being mistaken for each other, although one is at least three inches taller, and one is a blonde and the other, a redhead. Yet, during their respective careers, they have both tackled some of the same parts, including the plum role of Sally Bowles in the original Broadway production of Cabaret. Sin Twisters joyfully celebrates these similarities but also gives full voice to these two remarkable performers' differences as artists and as women. This show is a must for anyone who loves theater lore and cherishes the enduring bonds of friendship. Tere is a $35-$45 cover plus a $25 food/drink minimum.
