Dozens of Stars Set for Uptown-Bound 'Night Job'

"Don't Quit Your Night Job," Broadway's new after hours revue, will begin performances April 26th at HA! Comedy Club (163 West 46th Street at 7th Avenue) with Opening Night set for Thursday, May 17th at 9:30 p.m.

"Conceived by Dan Lipton (The Coast of Utopia), Steve Rosen (Spamalot), David Rossmer (Nerds), and Sarah Saltzberg (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee), 'Don't Quit Your Night Job' is a late night happening of music, comedy and improvisation. The show features a rotating core cast of Broadway's brightest new stars from every show on the block, complete with surprise celebrity guests nightly, and comes to Broadway (or, near Broadway), after a wild sold-out engagement at Joe's Pub downtown. The core company will be announced shortly," state press notes.

According to Jed Bernstein, the show's uptown producer, in his first project since leaving the League of American Theaters and Producers, "I want to give audiences an opportunity to enhance their evening of theater by experiencing more of what the Broadway community has to offer. Don't Quit Your Night Job has been an underground sensation for some months, and I am thrilled to be bringing this totally unique event uptown to a larger audience, and right in the shadow of Broadway."

Special Guests set to appear in the premiere weeks of "Don't Quit Your Night Job" include Hank Azaria, Kristin Chenoweth, Brian D'Arcy James, Paige Davis, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Dan Fogler, Hunter Foster, Kat Foster, Sutton Foster, Marvin Hamlisch, Jane Krakowski, Marc Kudisch, Huey Lewis, Andrea McArdle, John McDaniel, Eric Millegan, Bebe Neuwirth, Kelli O'Hara, Lonny Price, Anthony Rapp, Michael Riedel, Tony Roberts, Seth Rudetsky, Peter Scolari, Marian Seldes, Christopher Sieber, Mary Testa, Alan Tudyk, Patrick Wilson, B.D. Wong, and Adrian Zmed, among many others.
