The Laurie Beechman Theatre, located within The West Bank Café (407 West 42nd St.), will continue The After Party with a visit by
Mamma Mia! star
Carey Anderson on Friday, February 16th.
Billed as "an informal social gathering for the theatrically inclined," The After Party is held every Friday from 10:30pm till 2am. It features hosts
Brandon Cutrell (MAC and Bistro Award winner) and Alysha Umphress (XL Star), as well as
Ray Fellman (
Captain Louie) at the piano, and 2006 Nightlife award-winning vocalist Lisa Asher behind the bar for the weekly party in the heart of Manhattan's theatre district. "There is no cover charge and no minimum. Come and sing yourself as the mic is always open (only rule: your selection must be from a musical!), or sit back and enjoy a cocktail with friends. Located just blocks from the Great White Way, you never know who might drop in," press materials state.
On February 16th, Carey Anderson will be the special guest performer. She currently is starring as "Sophie" in Broadway's Mamma Mia!. Anderson is originally from Indiana and a graduate of Millikin University. Before her 2 year affair with ABBA (including the national tour), she was seen in NYC on the stage at Musicals Tonight! in My Favorite Year as "K.C. Downing" and "Mollie" in The Girlfriend.
The Laurie Beechman Theatre is located downstairs, within The West Bank Café, 407 West 42nd St at 9th Avenue. There is a full bar and bar menu available, and reservations are not necessary for this event.
