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.
