JILTED Returns In Triumph To NYC!

JILTED TO PERFECTION, a short musical romance, written and starring acclaimed opera singer, Debra Cook, after a joyous and celebrated run last summer on Theatre Row, returns for a special showing at The Triad, the posh NYC cabaret, on Saturday afternoon, April 13 @ 3:00 p.m., 158 West 72nd Street (between Amsterdam & Columbus aves) with tickets available at www.triadnyc.com. Two drink minimum, light fare available.

Saturday afternoon, April 13, the opulent theatre and cabaret will serve as host for a performance of Ms. Cook's semi-autobiographical musical love letter to her departed husband. This is no simple love story, however! The musical, enhanced and explored further, tells the story of a shamed and divorced Mormon mother who - after a botched audition for the Metropolitan Opera - meets the strange and older Fred. He - upon immediate attraction - pursues her despite her fears, her missed dates, and her biases. The musicalization of their unorthodox romance takes them to two coasts and Utah, Scientology, Fred's third [ex]wife, Debra's son, their mission as artists, and Fred's fluctuating health. Debra's realization that Fred was right about them being soul mates, but it may have come too late. The musical ends with a special appearance that will provoke great thought, hope ... and tears.

Prominent writer/reviewer, Robert Viagas, (Playbill, Tony Award committee) called the intimate piece "funny," "poignant," with "wonderful twists" that was simply "marvelous."

The Triad premiered such works as Forbidden Broadway (Originating Production); Forever Plaid (Originating Production); Spamilton (Originating Production); Loose Lips by Kurt Anderson, Directed by Martin Charnin with Bebe Neuwirth, Peter Boyle, and Harry Shearer; and entertainers including Martin Short, Matthew Broderick, Jim Dale, Tommy Tune, Ben Vereen, Air Supply. Lady Gaga made her professional debut on the Triad stage as part of the Circle in the Square Cabaret Program.
