UPCOMING MUSIC HIGHLIGHTS AT THE GREEN ROOM 42
      
Tuesdays at 7:00 PM through June 27

Lady Bunny

“Don’t Bring the Kids”
EXTENDED!
Drag royalty Lady Bunny will present an hour of jokes and demented song parodies. The internationally known drag icon, comedian, recording artist and jet-set DJ is as famous for her big-banged bouffant and her notoriously naughty wit as for her ability to get a dancefloor jumping. A Manhattan gal since the early 80s, Lady Bunny shares Atlanta roots with fellow drag star and former roommate, RuPaul, and is most famous for co-founding and emceeing Wigstock, the annual New York City Labor Day outdoor drag festival that ran for nearly 20 years. She tours constantly, taking her bawdy brand of humor to audiences from Cincinnati to Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, London, Marrakesh and Sydney. Bunny has been lucky enough to share the stage or screen with many of her idols including Patti LaBelle, Joan Rivers, Bea Arthur, Charo, Lynda Carter, and Christina Aguilera at Radio City Music Hall. One-woman show titles like “That Ain’t No Lady!,” “Trans-Jester,” “Pig in a Wig,” and most recently, “Cuntageous,” offer a hint as to what to expect. From riotously risqué to vividly vulgar, Bunny gleefully delivers full-strength, downright dirty, gobsmackingly un-P.C. adult humor. Lady Bunny can be seen in films and television, most recently in Wig, the HBO Wigstock documentary made with Neil Patrick Harris, and the feature film Hurricane Bianca: From Russia with Hate. She was the “Dean of Drag” on three seasons of “RuPaul’s Drag U,” has been roasted by Joan Rivers, roasted Pam on “The Comedy Central Roast of Pamela Anderson,” and emceed the LGBT prom in one of the most popular episodes of “Sex and the City.”

MARK Arthur Miller
“Soul Searching”
*Livestream Available*
“Soul Searching” is an energetic, rhythmic, sexy dive into the music of Detroit, Motown and of Ron Miller, who happens to have been Mark’s dad and composer of the classic, “For Once in My Life,” memorably recorded by Stevie Wonder, Tony Bennett and 200 others. While his dad was in Detroit writing music at Motown for Stevie, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight and many more, Mark was growing up 300 miles away in Chicago, unaware his dad was a successful hitmaker. Miller weaves a true-life tale of his soulful affair with the music he describes as “part of his DNA.” It was the soundtrack of his life growing up on Chicago’s South Side, where he struck a goldmine of cultural experience. Mark later discovered his dad’s name on a 45rpm record. Reconnected with the elder Miller, a bond was formed, and through Ron’s work Mark frequently found himself in the company of idols Stevie, Smokey, Diana, and more. “Soul Searching” includes the music of Ron Miller, other Motown favorites, and original music by Mark Arthur Miller.

Perhaps you attended Music Theatre Wichita’s 42nd Street, where she played Maggie Jones, or witnessed her transformative performance in The Color Purple at Roxy’s Downtown.
