STAGE TUBE: Leslie Kritzer Brings BEAUTIFUL DISASTER to Joe's Pub

Broadway's Leslie Kritzer returned to Joe's Pub in her all-new extravaganza Beautiful Disaster for three performances: May 1, 2 and 3. The all-new show co-written by Randy Blair (Fat Camp, Perez Hilton Saves the Universe, Spidermusical) and Kritzer featured a 4-piece band led by music director/pianist Vadim Feichtner (Spelling Bee, Elegies), and the music of Madonna, Guns n Roses, Alanis Morrisette, Katy Perry, Jane's Addiction, Snoop Dogg, Tori Amos, and Stephen Sondheim. Check out some of the concert below!

The year is 1995, and Jersey girl Leslie Kritzer is a senior at Livingston High School. After the crushing blow of not landing the lead in her school's musical, and the dramatic events of her parents' telenovela-like divorce, Leslie abandons her good girl persona and turns from Kritzer to Hyde, unleashing her teenage Jew-rican vengeance upon the town. Drugs! Kleptomania! Pre-marital sex! Playing 30 different characters in a comic tour de force, Beautiful Disaster explores what happens when the shit hits the fan and rebellion meets reality.

Following her sensational award-winning 2006 S.R.O. debut Leslie Kritzer is Patti LuPone at Les Mouches in which The New York Times hailed her as ‘a powerful young singer' in a ‘wonderful new act," and Time Out NY proclaimed "Kritzer doesn't just shine in her talk-of-the-town new show-she explodes like a supernova." Kritzer received a Time Out New York Award for her Joe's Pub run (and also played a run at the Plush Room in San Francisco).
