Lezzie with a 'Z', which is a one-woman show starring Caitlin Lee Reid and an homage to Liza Minnelli's 1972 filmed theatrical production: Liza with a 'Z', will play a one-night only engagement at Dixon Place (161A Chrystie Street in NYC) on Saturday, December 16, 2017 at 10:00PM.
Peppered with Reid's dry wit and own real-life tales of being gay-married and gay-divorced by 27, she uses both classic Broadway songs and original music to break the lesbian glass ceiling of musical theatre, and learns to strap-on and sing out. Lezzie With A 'Z' is written and performed by Caitlin Lee Reid and Will Larche and directed by Joe Barros (New York Theatre Barn Artistic Director).
Caitlin Lee Reid was last seen starring as Sue in the musical Lesbian Love Octagon. She performed in the East Coast Premier of The Break Up Notebook. Caitlin is a regular performer at LezCab, a musical theatre cabaret for queer women. Will Larche wrote the score to the hit Lesbian Love Octagon: a musical comedy about dyke drama. He also arranged We Put The Spring In Springfield: The Music of The Simpsons and wrote the score to Bail Out The Musical with the Wreckio Ensemble. Joe Barros's work has been seen on Broadway in Gigi (associate director) and off-Broadway in Cagney (associate director), Bastard Jones, A Taste of Things to Come (associate director), I Married Wyatt Earp, Hard Times (NYIT Award nominee), Shoes & Baggage, Charlotte's Web, and is directing and developing the new musical Mommie Dearest written by Christina Crawford and David Nehls.
