Rory O'Malley, Nikki James Set for RYAN O'CONNOR EATS HIS FEELINGS in May

Joining Ryan O'Connor for upcoming performance of Ryan O'Connor Eats His Feelings will be newly minted Tony Award nominees Nikki James (on May 9th) and Rory O'Malley (May 16th), both from the Book of Mormon, followed by composer/lyricist Scott Alan (May 23rd)

As previously announced, one of "Oprah's Chosen Ones" (People Magazine), Ryan O'Connor, will perform his critically acclaimed one-man show Ryan O'Connor Eats His Feelings, Mondays May 2, 9, 16 and 23 at the Laurie Beechman Theatre at 9:30pm. Each week O'Connor will interview Tony-nominated guests from the 2010-‘11 Broadway season.

Recently finishing fourth in The Oprah Winfrey Network's "Your OWN Show: Oprah's Search For the Next TV Star," O'Connor was competing for the dream of having his own talk-show/variety show hybrid.

Called "a real heavyweight" by Time Out New York Magazine, YouTube celebrity, actor and singer Ryan O'Connor ("How I Met Your Mother," School of Rock, "American Dad"), brings this dynamic, hilarious and oddly touching musical journey of his experiences as a compulsive overeater to New York. Including songs by William Finn, Ani DiFranco, Katie Thompson, Scott Alan, Michael Arden, Gregory Nabours and Randy Blair, Ryan O'Connor Eats His Feelings is a one of a kind, out of the ordinary, honest, self-effacing, non-traditional cabaret and a guaranteed crowd pleaser! Written by O'Connor, the show features musical direction by Gregory Nabours, and will feature back-up vocalists Lucas Coatney and Jason Powell.
