By: BWW News Desk Jun. 18, 2007

Isaac Robert Hurwitz and Métropole Ink, in association with Jossip.com, present Marissa Kamin's The Fabulous Life of a Size Zero, directed by Ben Rimalower, now playing Off-Broadway at the DR2 Theatre (103 East 15th street at Union Square), through July 1.

Ben Rimalower (Joy, Leslie Kritzer is Patti LuPone at Les Mouches) directs a young ensemble cast including Anna Chlumsky (My Girl 1 and 2, "30 Rock"), Gillian Jacobs (Cagelove, upcoming Blackbird film), Kate Reinders (Wicked, Gypsy, Into the Woods), Christopher Sloan (Joy) and Brian J. Smith. Featured live on stage is HX's 2005 & 2006 DJ of the Year, DJ Brenda Black spinning the soundtrack nightly.

As described in press materials, "The Fabulous Life of a Size Zero follows a girl in her senior year of high school as she attempts to achieve the ultimate: effortless perfection. Feeling the pressure of the forces around her, she shrinks to a size zero and descends into a filthy/gorgeous world of booze, beauty and boyfriends all while attempting to get into the Ivy League school of her choice. The tabloids, headlines and blogs of today explode onstage with humor, wit and brutal honesty as Size Zero proposes, 'How can a girl find herself if she is lost being someone else?'"

Tickets are $18 and currently available online or by phone at telecharge.com. Reach the box office at 212-239-6200. Visit www.thefabulouslifeofasizezero.com for more information.
