BLINK & YOU MIGHT MISS ME Re-Opens At Asylum Lab 5/27

Combined Artform (Matthew Quinn, producer) has announced a return engagement of Blink & You Might Miss Me, written and performed by Larry Blum and directed by Stan Zimmerman, at the Asylum Lab in Hollywood. The critically acclaimed solo show resumes performances on Friday, March 25 at 8pm. Performances will continue on Friday evenings only at 8:00 through May 27.

Blink & You Might Miss Me is a humorous look back at Larry Blum's personal journey in show business. Sharing engaging stories along with rare clips and photos from his long and varied career, Larry reflects on the unique opportunity he has had to experience celebrity up close and personal. Whether dancing in A Chorus Line onstage, in the feature film cult classic Xanadu or on TV's Solid Gold, or acting on every major daytime drama, Larry's love of the business has never waned. He also enjoys the honor of escorting the glamorous women of Hollywood as they ascend the stairs to the stage to accept various awards. Though his name may not be a household word, Blink & You Might Miss Me is his moment to take center stage once again.

The LA Weekly called Blum, "A clever, funny, accomplished raconteur." Of the show, LA Splash said, "Written with heart and wit ... it will make you chuckle and blush and think." And from Edge Publications, "An enjoyable night of storytelling and Hollywood gossip."

Larry Blum began his career in show business dancing in productions of I Married An Angel starring Phyllis Newman, Bye Bye Birdie starring Lucie Arnaz and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying starring Van Johnson. After playing the role of Greg in the international production of A Chorus Line, Larry settled in Los Angeles and danced on The Third Barry Manilow Special, The Bea Arthur Special, The Tonight Show, the Opening Ceremony of the 1984 Summer Olympics, The People's Choice Awards, and Solid Gold. His film credits include Xanadu and 18 Again (with George Burns), and he has appeared on the television series Roseanne, The Jeffersons, The Golden Girls, and The Garry Shandling Show, among others.
