Joyce Brings 'Second Time Around' to Plush Room Oct.22-24

By:

Elaine Joyce is set to make the West Coast premiere "Second Time Around," a one-woman play with music written by Elaine Joyce and Neil Simon, at the Empire Plush Room October 22, 23 and 24.

Elaine Joyce's "Second Time Around" is the first time audiences have seen her in a new way.  In a sense, a small Broadway show; in reality, a trip through the "ins and outs" of a woman's best days, not so best days, but always days that keep us asking for more.  Some of the musical numbers she plans to perform along the way include "It's Time," "I'm Beginning to See the Light," "A Sunday Kind of Love," "Funny Girl," "In Your Eyes," and "Second Time Around."  The Musical Director for "Second Time Around" is Emily Olin with Yanko Valdes on bass.  

Elaine Joyce starred in the title role of David Merrick's Broadway hit Sugar, with music by Jule Styne and directed by Gower Champion.  After relocating to the west coast with her then husband, MGM star Bobby Van, she appeared on numerous television series including "Magnum, P.I.," "Hart to Hart," "Hotel," "Murder, She Wrote," "Who's the Boss?," "Fantasy Island," "Beverly Hills, 90210," and countless game shows.  Her musical stage credits include Sugar Babies, No, No, Nanette, Mack and Mabel, Damn Yankees, Sweet Charity, South Pacific and Promises, Promises.

The Empire Plush Room in the York Hotel is located at 940 Sutter Street in San Francisco.  Tickets for "Second Time Around" are $32.50 and are available through www.ticketweb.com or 866-468-3399.  For more information, visit www.TheEmpirePlushRoom.com.
