Lucie Pohl to Bring HI, HITLER to Cherry Lane This Summer

German-born-NYC-raised comedian, actor and writer Lucie Pohl will bring her newly re-worked first critically acclaimed show Hi, Hitler to The Cherry Lane Theatre on July 13-30, 2017 with previews running July 11-12, 2017.

With a role in top video game Overwatch, and appearances on several fan-favorite TV shows and films, in addition to her lauded one-woman shows, Pohl is a star on the rise. The grand-niece of iconic poet/playwright Bertolt Brecht and the daughter of German actor Klaus Pohl and Romanian singer Sanda Weigl, Pohl is carrying the distinguished legacy of her family into the 21st century.

Tickets are currently on sale and are available at www.HiHitlerShow.com.

Hi, Hitler, created and written by Pohl and from producers David DeAlmo (Oh, Hello at Cherry Lane, Hasan Minhaj: Homecoming King) and Rebecca Crigler (Mike Bribiglia's Thank God For Jokes, Chris Gethard's Career Suicide), finds the versatile actress playing over 30 characters as she tells the story of finding her identity in NYC as an immigrant. Meet a German-Jew who grows up in a wild family of artists, is fascinated by the Fuehrer from age four, and is uprooted from Germany to NYC at age eight. Lucie yearns for normalcy, but being different seems to run in her bloodline and escaping her inherited high-drama-destiny might just be impossible. Pohl has performed Hi, Hitler to sold-out audiences in Los Angeles and Baltimore, as well as in Germany, Bucharest, and on London's West End at The Leicester Square Theatre. The show, in its original incarnation, garnered an NY Innovative Theatre Award Nomination for Outstanding Solo Performance when Lucie performed it in 2015 at the IRT Theatre. The show debuted in 2014 at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival to rave reviews.

Lucie's second solo comedy Cry Me A Liver, which explored what people do to survive in New York City, enjoyed successful runs in London at The Vault Festival as well as in Edinburgh. She performed her third one-woman show Apohlcalypse Now! in Edinburgh, Berlin, and London.

Lucie is currently the voice of Mercy on Blizzard's massive hit video game Overwatch, which boasts over 30 million registered players. She has appeared in the films Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them (Warner Bros.), Not Fade Away (Paramount/David Chase), and The Odd Couple (Margarethe von Trotta/Heimatfilm). She was also featured on Homeland (Showtime) and the wildly popular UK series Red Dwarf XI (Amazon), as well as in over 20 other international Film & TV productions. Pohl has contributed op-ed pieces to The Guardian, Huffington Post UK, and Chortle. She is the host of the brand new monthly comedy show Immigrant Jam in NYC.
