Jackie Hoffman Will Come to Bay Street Theater

Bay Street Theater & Sag Harbor Center for the Arts is pleased to announce Jackie Hoffman: From Broadway to Bay Street Monday, July 2 at 8 pm as the first concert of the Music Mondays concert series on. Hoffman takes over Bay Street Theater for a night of show tunes, covers, original songs, and "kvetching on an operatic scale" (New York Times). Tickets range from $59 - $89 and are on sale now at baystreet.org and through the Box Office at 631-725-9500.

Jackie Hoffman is long on comic talent and vocal power; short on patience with many things. She is one of the stage and screen's favorite scene-stealers and an Emmy nominee. Bay Street Theater's audiences will remember Jackie Hoffman from her starring role in the 2013 Mainstage Production of A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum.

After shining in supporting roles in Hairspray, Xanadu, The Addams Family, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Hoffman made the transition to leading lady in the critically-acclaimed Off-Broadway revival of Once Upon a Mattress. She is also a fan favorite at Joe's Pub, where she has performed a string of bawdy, vaudevillian solo shows, including The Kvetching Continues, the venue's longest-running show. She received rave reviews for her recent role on Broadway as the comical Mrs. Teavee in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Other numerous credits include: Rucchel Epstein in Difficult People, Gilmore Girls, I Shudder, Girls, Six by Sondheim, The New Normal, The Good Wife, Inside Amy Schumer, Raising Hope, Melissa and Joey, On We Go, 30 Rock, Starved, Hope and Faith, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Strangers with Candy, TV Funhouse, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Soulman, and Cosby. In animation: High School USA, Family Guy, Dilbert, PB & J Otter, and the film Robots. In film: Birdman, Kissing Jessica Stein, Decay, The Sitter, The Extra Man, How to Seduce Difficult Women, A Dirty Shame, Garden State, Legally Blonde II, and Mo' Money. On Broadway she has starred in On the Town, The Addams Family, Xanadu, and Hairspray, for which she won a Theatre World Award. Off-Broadway, she starred as Princess Winifred in the Transport Group's Once Upon a Mattress and received a Drama League Award Nomination for her performance. Other theater credits include A Chanukah Charol, The Gingerbread House, Straightjacket, Incident at Cobbler's Knob (Lincoln Center Festival), and One Woman Shoe. Hoffman has performed in regional theater as well, in Chicago at the MUNY, and The Sisters Rosensweig at The Globe Theatre.
