'The Seven Year B*tch' in One-Night Encore, 11/5

Back by popular demand, Dan Acquisto and Sammy Buck's The Seven Year B*tch an anniversary concert of two never-was-has-beens will return for one performance at 7PM on Monday, November 5 at The Laurie Beechman Theater at the West Bank Cafe (407 West 42nd Street - Downstairs). Carlos Armesto (Associate Artistic Director, Ensemble Studio Theatre) directs.
 
Named as an Outstanding New Musical in Talkin' Broadway's Summer Theatre Festival Citations, this wickedly funny and bitterly heartfelt revue features the songs of Dan Acquisto and Sammy Buck who give you their tell-all and show you what it's like to persevere, while five very talented performers sing songs about misadventures in love and work, and never winning a certain performing arts foundation grant each year.
 
This premiere performance played to a sold out crowd at TBG Theatre as part of the 2007 New York Musical Theatre Festival.
 
The cast of The Seven Year B*tch includes Becca Ayers (Avenue Q, Les Miserables), James Donegan (Forbidden Broadway: Rude Awakening), David Perlman (Barrington Stage Company's Calvin Berger), Amy Rutberg (Out Leading Lady, Don't Quit Your Night Job, "As The World Turns"), and Joanna Young (The Drowsy Chaperone). Brian Cimmet (The Drowsy Chaperone) serves as music director.
