AWESOMER & AWESOMER!!!:THE SONGS OF PHOEBE KREUTZ Returns to NYC, 10/17

Due to popular demand, the quirky and comic musical revue "Awesomer & Awesomer!!!: The Songs of Phoebe Kreutz" returns for another performance at the Triad (158 W. 72nd St.) on Monday, October 17th at 7:00pm.

For years award-winning composer/lyricist Phoebe Kreutz has been singing her downtown "joke-folk" ditties in the dirtiest clubs in the Western world. Now her songs are putting on their fancy pants and being re-imagined by Broadway actors and musicians. AWESOMER AND AWESOMER!!! features Ann Harada (Avenue Q, 9 to 5), Carey Anderson (Mamma Mia!, Avenue Q), Gwen Hollander (Little Women) and Adam Halpin (Glory Days). Musical direction is by Jason Loffredo (Xanadu) and musical supervision is by Gary Adler (Altar Boyz). The evening will be directed by Alan Muraoka (NAATCO's Falsettoland and Sesame Street).

The New York Times said "Phoebe Kreutz's chanteusey delivery and comic writing were genuinely funny", and the New Yorker called her "the kingpin of the joke folk scene". Kreutz's songs are often inspired by diverse subjects, such as historical figures ("Oh, Elizabeth I"), literature ("Lonesomest Dove on the F Train"), relationships (‘Disaster") and the pitfalls of rock and roll excess ("The Ballad of Throat Culture"). As a lyricist, she's written for "Johnny and the Sprites", "Dance Dance Revolution" and "The Water Coolers". She's currently working on two new musicals, "The Dirty Hippie Jam Band Project" with Dan Israel and "Thanks!" with Gary Adler.
