Villain: DeBlanks
December 12 at Birdland - BUY TICKETS

A Time Out NY Critics' Pick, Villain: DeBlanks, written by Billy Mitchell, is an uproarious improvisational comedy where the cast says words the audience puts in their mouths! The audience provides nouns, adjectives, and verbs (the wilder, the better), and the actors provide the laughs-uncensored and unrehearsed-as they solve the mystery of Philip DeBlanks' untimely demise. Celebrity guests will include Julie Halston ("Sex and the City," Tootsie), three-time Tony-nominee Rebecca Luker (Music Man, Mary Poppins), Tony-nominee Brenda Braxton (Smokey Joe's Café, "SMASH"), Tony nominee Micah Stock (It's Only A Play, The Front Page), Jeff Hiller ("30 Rock," Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson), and Jared Zirilli (Summer, Lysistrata Jones).

Kick off your holiday season with the best is-it-a-Christmas-story-is-it-a-Halloween-story of our time, The Nightmare Before Christmas: The Concert! Starring Heath Saunders (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) as Jack, and Natalie Walker (Puffs: Or, Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic & Magic, Twitter) as Sally, the evening will feature Danny Elfman's iconic score performed by several of your Broadway faves, plenty of mischief, and maybe some treats if you're nice.
