LOOPED opens this Sunday March 14 at the Lyceum Theatre (149 West 45th Street) and tells the story of
Tallulah Bankhead, the internationally celebrated actress, being called into a sound studio in 1965 to re-record (or "loop") one line of dialogue for what would be her last film -- the dreadful "Die, Die My Darling." Southern, but by no means a belle, Ms. Bankhead was known for her wild partying and convention-defying exploits that surpassed even today's celebrity bad girls. Given her inebriated state and inability to loop the line properly, what ensues is an uproarious showdown between an uptight film editor and the outrageous legend.
Brian Hutchison and
Michael Mulheren complete the company. It is directed by
Rob Ruggiero.
