Broadway's Jackie Hoffman, acclaimed for her hysterical scene-stealing performances in such shows as Hairspray, Xanadu and currently as 'Grandma' in The Addams Family, will bring her all-new solo show Jackie Five-Oh!: A Celebration of Jackie Hoffman's First 50th Birthday to Joe's Pub (425 Lafayette Street) beginning Monday, November 22 for four consecutive Monday evenings.
In the all-new Jackie Five-Oh!, the blisteringly funny, filter-free Hoffman muses on her own decay, as well as about her experiences playing 'Grandma' and a host of other topics such as Haiti and Hollywood. Hoffman will also world premiere several new musical numbers, including two that she wrote for 'Grandma'....if she were to have a solo number in The Addams Family, which of course she doesn't .....not that she's ever complained about that.
Hoffman's previous outings at Joe's Pub (immortalized on the CD
Jackie Hoffman: Live At Joe's Pub....NOT sold at the Lunt-Fontanne merch. stand) have garnered a cult following, as well as critical acclaim. Charles Isherwood of The New York Times wrote, "
Jackie Hoffman's solo shows at Joe's Pub have become a beloved ritual. Ms. Hoffman radiates anything but love and charity as she reviews the year in outrage, both global and personal. And who can blame her! "
Adam Feldman in Time Out NY
