Current star Jeff Hiller ("Nightcap," "30 Rock," Broadway's Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson), who continues through Sunday, April 1, was called "riotously funny" and delivers a "surprisingly nuanced performance." RuPaul added "Jeff Hiller is Fantastic! Sharp, clever, funny, witty." The show continues its triumphant run after stellar reviews and popular demand at SoHo Playhouse (15 Vandam Street, between 6th Avenue and Varick Street in Manhattan). Tickets are on sale at BrightColorsandBoldPatterns.com.

Directed by Michael Urie (Torch Song, Buyer & Cellar, "Ugly Betty"), Bright Colors And Bold Patterns has returned to New York following a smash three-week engagement last season. After the run closes, Droege plans to bring the production around the country on a national tour.

The BroadwayHD production will be produced by Stewart F. Lane and Bonnie Comley and directed by David Horn, executive producer of PBS's Great Performances for WNET. The multi-camera capture will deliver the live performance specifically for a streaming audience, bringing this unique performance to life for viewing to subscribers anytime, anywhere.

Josh and Brennan are about to get married in Palm Springs on a lovely Saturday afternoon. However, the night before becomes a drunken, drug-fueled riot, because their friend Gerry has arrived, furious that their invitation says "Please refrain from wearing bright colors or bold patterns." In the struggle for equality, what do we really want? What do we lose? And is there any cocaine left?

Bright Colors And Bold Patterns features set design by Dara Wishingrad and is produced by Zach Laks in association with Riki Kane Larimer. Tom Detrinis serves as associate producer.

Bright Colors And Bold Patterns was originally presented at VS Theatre in Los Angeles and directed by Molly Prather. It was remounted at Celebration Theatre in Los Angeles and transferred to the Barrow Street Theatre in 2016.
