COLIN QUINN THE NEW YORK STORY Returns to Cherry Lane Tonight

Due to great reviews and a sold-out run, Colin Quinn The New York Story the new comedy written by and starring Colin Quinn, based on his book THE COLORING BOOK (Grand Central Publishing) and directed by Jerry Seinfeld returns The Cherry Lane Theatre, (38 Commerce Street) beginning tonight, October 20th. Colin Quinn The New York Story, is presented by Brian Stern, Mike Lavoie and Mike Berkowitz.

To celebrate the success of Colin Quinn The New York Story, Netflix is exclusively streaming his previous one man show, Colin Quinn Unconstitutional in the US, UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.

In Colin Quinn The New York Story, Colin waxes nostalgic about the rise and fall of his hometown, the city formally known as NY from its modest beginnings as Dutch outpost to the hipsters of modern Williamsburg. Quinn is once again at his satirical best, taking aim at the prejudices, paranoias and peculiarities that make New York City the crossroads of the world.

Directed by Jerry Seinfeld, who directed Colin in his Broadway show Colin Quinn Long Story Short, Colin Quinn The New York Story has set design by Sara C. Walsh, costume design by Kristen Buckels, and lighting design by Sarah Lurie.

COLIN QUINN THE NEW YORK STORY marks Colin's return to the New York stage after his acclaimed off-Broadway show Colin Quinn Unconstitutional, for which he also toured the country, and his Broadway engagement of Long Story Short, for which he was nominated for the Drama Desk Award as well as an Emmy Award for the HBO broadcast of the play.

"Like Wayne Newton in Vegas in the 70's and Josephine Baker in Paris in the 30's, this is where people need to see me right now," said Colin Quinn.
