NYC: NEW MUSICAL DISASTER "LATE WITH LANCE!" FROM "DESPERATELY SEEKING THE EXIT" CREATOR

Michael Marino's newest old creation "Late with Lance!" is back, and it will be presented at THE TRIPLE CROWN UNDERGROUND (330 7th Avenue, NYC). Meet Lance ... delusional cruise ship entertainer, celebrity stalker and pathological musical theater fanatic. After a 15-year hiatus from the cabaret world, Lance is back in town with his own brand of variety talk show. He's invited Liza Minnelli, Hugh Jackman and Miami Sound Machine to be on his show - and that's surely bound to happen. This solo show/talk show spoof with a musical theater twist features original song parodies, The Sound of Music performed in five minutes, an homage to the film Fame, and many more ridiculous surprises. Lance has suffered for his art. Now it's your turn. Peter Michael Marino is the performer and creator of Lance Jonathan's critically acclaimed cabaret spoofs "All About Me!" and "More About Me!" - which rocked the cabaret circuit in the mid-90s and led to a Backstage Bistro Award for Outstanding Achievement and a number of MAC Award nominations. He is also the creator of "Desperately Seeking the Exit" which toured the world for over two years and recounted his tale of writing the flop Blondie musical "Desperately Seeking Susan." In addition to directing dozens of solo comedies, Peter is the creator of SOLOCOM at The PIT which debuted 90 original solo comedies in November 2014. Pay-what-you-can. No reservations. Catch this show while you can - on opening night. His last show closed during the overture!
