Radio show host Alexander Rodriguez on iHeartRadio and Universal Broadcasting Network's "On The Rocks" will hit the stage tonight, May 24th debuting his new cabaret show, "I'll Have Another!" - a roller coaster of stories, audience participation, and dramedy, belted out by your host featuring music from stage, screen and pop.

Fasten your seat belts, full steam ahead, it's going to be a bumpy night! With his fast quips, a penchant for vodka and an eclectic taste in music, there is no telling where this evening will end. Special appearance by Mindy Sterling (Austin Powers, iCarly, The Legend of Korra) with guest performances by Michael Kennen Miller and Lindsay Paige Garfield.

"I'll Have Another" will feature music by Sondheim, Irving Berlin, Donna Summer, Dolly Parton, Britney Spears, and Alan Menken.

This cabaret coincides with the recent iHeartRadio syndication of Alexander's "On the Rocks with Alexander" - his weekly talk show covers everything under the sun from entertainment and current events, to gossip and backstage stories with their celebrity guests from stage, television, screen and reality TV.

A portion of the evening's proceeds to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society - more specifically, the 10-week fundraising challenge accepted by actress Mindy Sterling (who also makes a guest appearance). Guest performances include Michael Kennen Miller (National Tours of Footloose and Fiddler On the Roof, Hairspray) and Lindsay Paige Garfield (lead singer of Paige and The Thousands).

"I'll Have Another" is directed by Dani Armstrong (Live It Up Productions) with musical direction by Ovation Award winner, composer Bryan Blaskie, with Stephan L Smith (Hollywood Bowl Orchestra) on violin and Eric McCann on bass.

The show is one hour, 15 minutes long and starts promptly at 8 p.m. with dinner service starting at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 24th, 2016 at Rockwell Table & Stage, 1714 N Vermont Ave, Los Angeles, California 90027. For tickets, go to www.Rockwell-la.com.

A mix between Joan Rivers, Johnny Carson and Judy Garland, Alexander is an entertainer in every sense of the word. He is a singer, Master of Ceremonies, actor and host.

Favorite stage role continues to be Charlie Brown at the Roxy in Hollywood to critical acclaim. He has also performed at the Green Hills Memorial Park for over 5,000 guests for the 4th of July Celebration, hosted National MS Society's "Sky's the Limit" event, Upright Citizen's Brigade's Inner Sanctum, ESpot at Vitello's, Don't Tell Mama in LA and NY, Rage Nightclub, and comical appearances in the web series Unrepresentable and My Penance. A highlight along the way is the drive-a-thon he produced and performed in with all proceeds benefitting the American Cancer Society, starting in Orange County with performances at hospitals throughout the United States, specifically for the pediatric. Alexander's sense of humor shines through in his cabaret shows, daily life, and his weekly show "On The Rocks" on Universal Broadcasting Network (UBN) Radio, broadcast live from Sunset Gower Studios in the heart of Hollywood. He finished three great years with "Happy Hour with Ben & Alexander" with UBN and now continues on in his newest adventure, "On the Rocks". His interests are all encompassing including his love of old Hollywood, all things Broadway, reality shows, the best on TV, the up and coming talent in entertainment, and those secrets only he can coax from celebrities. Most recently, Alexander joined the Host team of AfterBuzz TV and will be seen weekly on their programming.
