The RRazz Room at the Prince Theater Opens Second Season

With such award-winning Broadway, film and television stars as Betty Buckley and Tovah Feldshuh leading the way, The RRazz Room at the Prince is planning a blockbuster second season. Joining them through the fall in this second floor Black Box Theater, just off Avenue of the Arts in Philadelphia, will be Michele Lee, Andrea Marcovicci, Tom Wopat and Linda Purl, the Amazing Kreskin and many others.

The club programmed by Robert Kotonly and partner Rory Paul (the two "R's" in RRazz), who created the celebrated and iconic RRazz Room in San Francisco. They are very pleased about their success in their first season and Kotonly talks about their Philadelphia presence. "After San Francisco, we wanted to come east and timing was ideal for us with the availability at the Prince. There really is no other venue in the City that presents the level of talent we bring into Philadelphia in such a unique space that allows our patrons experience all their favorite entertainers up close and personal. We are confident about our second year, especially with so many nationally recognized entertainers anxious to work in our room."
