Flopz 2 and Cutz Showcase Rare Theatre Songs, Feb. 26

On February 26th, Producer/Director Jamie McGonnigal and Music Director Michael Lavine will team up once again with some of Broadway's best to present an evening of some of the hidden gems from the darkest corners of the musical theatre vault.  Flopz 2 and Cutz will follow in two successive performances at 7 PM and 9 PM at Joe's Pub (425 Lafayette St.).

The sold-out debut of the Flopz concert series took place on August 7th at Joe's Pub and "featured music from such notorious failures as Grind, Rags, Romance/Romance, Do I Hear A Waltz?, Urban Cowboy, King of Hearts, Annie Warbucks, and of course, Carrie," according to press notes. 

The Flopz and now Cutz series aim to acquaint theatre enthusiasts with shows and songs that, while not quite successful in their original incarnations, still have merits that can be showcased in a concert setting. The Cutz concert will feature some of the songs that didn't make it into some of today's favorite Broadway musicals. The cast of the first Flopz concert included such theatre luminaries as Sara Gettelfinger (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Nine), Celia Keenan-Bolger (The 25^th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee), Matt Cavenaugh (Urban Cowboy, "One Life To Live"), Jenn Gambatese (Hairspray, All Shook Up), Jenn Collela (Urban Cowboy, Slut), and Danny Gurwin (Little Women, The Full Monty).
