"The Unauthorized Musical Parody Of" hit series at Rockwell Table & Stage takes on the 2011 comedy blockbuster film "Bridesmaids" in what promises to be a raunchy, rollicking good time! The performance will be in a limited run from August 11 to September 17 2017, with shows Thursday thru Saturday at 8 p.m., and 12 noon on Sunday, so get your tickets today!

Annie (Natalie Lander), is a maid of honor whose life unravels as she leads her best friend, Lillian (Molly Stilliens), and a group of colorful bridesmaids (Ashley Argota, Nohely Quiroz, Aynsley Bubbico, and Desi Dennis-Dylan) on a wild ride down the road to the "I do's." Annie's life is a total hot mess, however, when she finds out her lifetime best friend is engaged, she simply must serve as the maid of honor. Though tragically single and broke, Annie bluffs her way through the expensive and bizarre rituals. With one chance to get it perfect, she'll show Lillian and her bridesmaids just how far you'll go for someone you love.

"This parody, driven by song and dialogue, is an homage to one of the best side-splitting films of all times," says Executive Producer Kate Pazakis. Adding, "so adapting this for Rockwell's dinner theater with 'tasteful raunch' while recalling our own experiences with weddings-and all that leads up to them-had us rise to the challenge...but it's guaranteed to keep you laughing."

Kate Pazakis pulls double duty as the show's writer and producer. This show is directed by Tony Award Winner, Marissa Jaret Winokur, and co-directed by Christopher Youngsman. Musical direction by Gregory Nabours. Cast includes: Natalie Lander, Desi Dennis-Dylan, Ashley Argota, Nohely Quiroz, Aynsley Bubbico, and Molly Stilliens, Nathan Moore, Keir Kirkegaard, and Michael Thomas Grant.

Created by Kate Pazakis, The UMPO (The Unauthorized Musical Parody Of) Series merges movies and musical theatre, revisiting popular films and retooling them for live audiences. Performed with a live band and slews of hit pop songs to help tell the stories, UMPO audiences have been cheering and laughing since 2015. Rockwell Table & Stage is located in Los Feliz at 1714 N. Vermont Ave, Los Angeles. Tickets are now on sale at www.rockwell-la.com.
