MACK & POPPY Announces One-Night Show at M Bar, 4/14

M & P Productions has announced a one night only triumphant return to Hollywood's M Bar by the legendary Mack & Poppy lounge act. With two shows at 8pm and 10pm on Saturday, April 14, Mack & Poppy will once again sashay into M Bar, this time with a musical look at their marriage and professional partnership.

Following their first-ever holiday show, IT'S CHRISTMAS!, this duo of comedy and song will take audiences on a trip down memory lane that recalls Mack & Poppy's first meeting, courtship, marriage, and their rise from total obscurity to semi-fame. Songs by Irving Berlin, Frank Loesser, Jerry Herman, and Grace Slick, among others, will play a big part in this very evening. Musical director Jack Cheddar will guide the tour.

Mack & Poppy are the creation of Christopher Michael Graham and Tod Macofsky. Graham (Poppy Fields) is originally from Alabama. A proud member of Actors Equity Association, Christopher has appeared in numerous plays and musicals across the United States over the course of his 20 or so years in the theatre. A few of his credits include The Lost Colony, multiple productions of Fiddler on the Roof, A Chorus Line, 42nd Street, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Macbeth. Christopher has choreographed productions of Fiddler on the Roof, The King and I, Anything Goes, and 42nd Street, among many others. For six years, he was a member of the internationally recognized Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles.

Macofsky (Mack Diamond) has been a member of the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles for the past 11 years, where he has sung and danced with such luminaries as Lily Tomlin, Joanna Gleason, Liz Torres, Valarie Pettiford, Jane Lanier, Nancy Dussault, Malcolm Gets, and Jerry Herman. Tod's biggest claim to fame is as the original Bris boy in the world premiere hit musical comedy revue NAKED BOYS SINGING! at Celebration Theatre. He also performed in the first same sex version of Stephen Sondheim's MARRY ME A LITTLE. More recently, Tod originated the role of Kevin Peterson in the world premiere musical 40 IS THE NEW 15, and played a shot, decapitated, frozen dead body on the ABC television series Castle.

Mack & Poppy will play two performances only on Saturday, April 14, at 8pm and 10pm. For the early show, dinner seating begins at 7pm; for the late show, seating begins at 9:30pm. In both cases, there is a cover charge of $15, along with a $10 food/drink minimum. For reservations, call (323) 856-0036 and for more information, visit www.mackandpoppy.com. M Bar is located at 1253 Vine Street, in the Fountain and Vine Plaza, in Hollywood.
