THE GREEN ROOM 42 will present two special evenings with Los Angeles on-air personality and journalist Alexander Rodriguez next month. On Wednesday, March 1 at 9:30 PM, Rodriguez joins forces with fellow podcast host Robert Bannon for a taping of "Roundtable On the Rocks," which mashes up two celebrity podcasts from Hollywood and NYC for a live, onstage recording filled with music and stories. They sit down with actor, playwright and drag legend Charles Busch (Psycho Beach Party, Die Mommie Die) and entertainment columnist, author, and performer Michael Musto as they dish about life, the gays, drag, and hot topics... with a song or two and plenty of cocktails. The show features Bryan Blaskie on piano.
On Saturday, March 18 at 7:00 PM, Rodriguez returns to perform "Unsung Midler," an irreverent night of storytelling and song which celebrates the lesser-known hits of "The Divine Miss M" from The Rose, For the Boys, and Beaches, to her numerous albums and covers. Called a "truly gifted singer" by the Los Angeles Times, Alexander is returning to his cabaret past with a new collection of almost too hard-to-believe stories and Milder songs sung in his signature style. Cocktails, jazz hands, and sass are in store... nothing is off limits. The show features musical director Bryan Blaskie and is presented by Metrosource Magazine.
Alexander Rodriguez is best known for his nationally syndicated radio show "On the Rocks with Alexander: Where Celebrities & Cocktails Mix" on iHeartRadio, Pandora, and Spotify.
