'Curtains's Danieley Performs at Zipper Theatre, May 28

Jason Danieley (Candide, The Full Monty, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn at Encores!), currently seen in the new Broadway musical Curtains, is bringing his talents to the Zipper Theater with a one-night acoustic folk/pop performance on Monday, May 28, 2007 at 9:30 PM.  The show, entitled Love: A Work in Progress, will feature new renditions of popular Americana songs.

Previous press releases state, Curtains "unfolds backstage at Boston's Colonial Theatre in 1959, where a new musical (the show-within-the-show, 'Robbin' Hood') could be a smash, were it not for the presence of its talent-free leading lady.  When the hapless star dies on opening night during her curtain call, Lieutenant Frank Cioffi (David Hyde Pierce) arrives on the scene to conduct an investigation.  But the lure of the theatre proves irresistible and after an unexpected romance blooms for the stage-struck detective, he finds himself just as drawn toward making the show a hit, as he is toward solving the murder." The show features one of the last scores by legendary songwriting team of Kander & Ebb (Cabaret, Chicago) and is now playing on Broadway at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre (302 West 45th Street, west of Eighth Avenue).

Tickets are $20, and can be purchased through the Zipper Factory website (www.zippertheater.com) or through the box office at (212) 352-3101.  Tickets are available the day of the performance for $25 at the door, located at 336 West 37th Street.  For more information, visit www.CurtainsTheMusical.com.
