The Real Housewives of New York: The Parody Musical is a raucous revue celebrating and satirizing thirteen seasons of the iconic syndicated reality series.
Following a sold-out debut, a sold-out encore, and an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW YORK: THE PARODY MUSICAL returns once again to The Green Room 42 on June 16th, 2023, with performances at 7PM and 9:30PM.
Written by 2023 Richard Rodgers Award winner Dylan MarcAurele, The Real Housewives of New York: The Parody Musical is a raucous revue celebrating and satirizing thirteen seasons of the iconic syndicated reality series. Set during 2018's nation-dividing conflict between the Skinniest Girl and the Kennedy Princess, the story follows Real Housewives cast members past and present as they compete for their chance to win a spin-off-or to fade into obscurity forever.
The show itself is an offshoot of the popular Instagram channel @RHONYmusical, which amassed 28,000 followers over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. Created, written, and directed by MarcAurele, the account's short musical sketches have drawn praise from celebrities like Molly Shannon, Gary Janetti, and Antoni Porowski.
The cast of the June 16th performance will include Brooke Sweeney, Deborah Berenson, Nina Jayashankar, Kim Onah, Olivia Miller, Rocky Paterra, Tess Davison, and Zofia Weretka. The production is directed by Marc Tumminelli.
