Lisa Brescia Guest Stars Closing Night of 'Into the Weeds'

The cast of Into the Weeds: The Bill Weeden Songbook will welcome guest star Lisa Brescia (The Times They Are A-Changin,' The Woman in White) to the show as its guest star for the production's final performance on Saturday, December 2.  The performance will begin at 11 pm at the Laurie Beechman Theatre (407 West 42nd Street at 9th Avenue).

Presented by D. Benjamen Brown Productions, Into the Weeds is "the long-running and critically-acclaimed musical revue that has played at the Laurie Beechman Theatre since August 5th. The show is a sweet and witty celebration of over forty years of music written by New York City composer/performer Bill Weeden and his many talented collaborators, including David Finkle, Sally Fay, and Ethan Fein."

The team of Weeden, Finkle and Fay won the 1980 NACCA Award (which later became the MAC) as Best Cabaret Comedy Group.  Their musical Move It and It's Yours was named New Jersey's  "Best New Musical" in 1998.  Several of their songs are featured in Martin Charnin's popular The No-Frills Revue.  He has also worked as an actor.

During its successful 5 month run, the show has welcomed many notable Broadway performers such as Annie Golden, Felicia Finley, Stephanie D'Abruzzo, Marty Thomas, Natalie Toro and Matthew Arkin as guest stars.

The cast of Into the Weeds, in addition to Weeden himself, includes Ted Anderson, Melissa Center, Grey Garrett, Hilary Mann, Kristen Rozanski, John Skocik, Michael Vaccaro, Eddie Varley, Amanda Weeden, and John Weisenburger.

There is a $15 cover and a two-drink minimum.  Call (212) 695-6909 for reservations. For more information, visit www.westbankcafe.com.
