Musical Comedy Premieres DELILAH DIX: SHOWIN' MY BUSINESS
March 19 - 26 at Laurie Beechman Theater

Beginning March 19, The Laurie Beechman Theater will present the World Premiere of DELILAH DIX: SHOWIN' MY BUSINESS. This new musical comedy is written and performed by Amy Albert with original music and accompaniment by Cody Owen Stine. It is directed by Peter Michael
Marino.

One part Barbara Streisand and three parts gin, Delilah Dix is the almost star of stage, screen, and straight-to-video. In DELILAH DIX: SHOWIN' MY BUSINESS, the boozy entertainer delights with stories and songs of her years in show business and showin' her business.

Chronicling her riotous experiences with stars like Oprah, Gary Coleman and Paula Abdul, the show includes original songs by Cody Owen Stine and covers of pop classics and Broadway tunes that would make the kids of Glee incredibly jealous. The show also features the sexy boy Dix Dancers and the most comprehensive list of terms for lady parts ever uttered in a one-hour period!

Amy Albert is a UCB trained stand-up and improv comedienne who has performed all over the country in clubs, theaters and festivals. She has been seen at the LAFF Festival in Austin, Texas, the Hollywood Fringe Festival, the ANT Fest at Ars Nova, and 2010 Edinburgh Fringe.
