THE GREATEST SHOWQUEEN Comes to Unicorn
By: Stephi Wild May. 19, 2019
After an absence of 22 years, Tom Orr -- the creative mind behind the award-winning musical parody revue Dirty Little Showtunes!, a long-running smash hit at Re-bar in 1997-98 -- is back in Seattle with a new solo cabaret and a multitude of new perverted twists on classic showtunes.
Winner of 3 Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle awards (Best Musical, Best Lyrics & Best Actor), Orr brings his diabolical wordplay and a uniquely skewed worldview to the forefront with his latest work, a look back at his colorful past and a sneak peek at his bright future, with new material and selections from his prior solo shows: I Feel A Thong Coming On!, A Crass Act!, The Devil Wears Nada!, Aging Bull! and A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To His Forearm!
He has been called "The Lost Love Child of Al & Dorothy Parker," is a former theatre critic for The Seattle Times, won kudos for his lyrics for Pimpin'! and Who Killed Stephen Sondheim?, was "Best Cashier" in The Seattle Weekly Readers' Poll & recently survived a major flood!
Pianist John Lehrack's career as a professional musician spans three decades and includes time as a performer, educator, business owner and more. He has appeared as a featured performer with San Francisco City Summer Opera, Solano Symphony, San Francisco Cabaret Opera, Maui Symphony Chorus, Gay Men's Chorus of Honolulu, South Coast Chorale and many regional companies. He launched Dorothy's Piano Bar in 2017.
Marie Ruzicka is an accomplished actress, director, choreographer, consultant, podcaster (Magickal Land of [Awe]some), author and solo performer: "Why Am I So Happy? An Introvert's Journey to #LivinTheJOMOLife" opens soon.
UNICORN is a popular new bar and restaurant hosting weekly drag cabarets on Seattle's Capitol Hill, with a second location opening soon at White Center in S. Seattle.
