Photo Coverage: Off-Broadway's LOVE, LOSS And WHAT I WORE Welcomes New Cast 2009/11/19

Love, Loss, and What I Wore, an intimate collection of stories by Nora Ephron and Delia Ephron, directed byKaren Carpenter and based on the bestselling book by Ilene Beckerman, opened October 1, 2009 to rave reviews at The Westside Theatre (407 West 43 Street, NYC) and has been extended through March 2010.

Love, Loss, and What I Wore features a rotating cast of five women, who perform in four-week cycles. The November 18 - December 13 cast includes Kristin Chenoweth, Lucy DeVito,Capathia Jenkins, Rhea Perlman and Rita Wilson.

Last night an absent Kristin Chenoweth was replaced by Katie Finneran. Finneran has previously appeared in the show. The press representative for the show remarked that Chenoweth was out due to illness and is expected to return to the show shortly. BroadwayWorld's cameras were there to welcome the new cast to the Off-Broadway hit!

Love, Loss, and What I Wore is based on Beckerman's popular book, as well as on the recollections of the Ephrons' friends. Like the book, Love, Loss, And What I Wore uses clothing and accessories and the memories they trigger to tell funny and often poignant stories that all women can relate to.

The complete design team for Love, Loss, and What I Wore includes Jo Winiarski (Scenic Design), Jessica Jahn (Costume Design), Jeff Croiter (Lighting Design), Walter Trarbach(Sound Design) and Maria Verel (Make-Up Design).

A portion of the production's proceeds will benefit Dress for Success, a charity that provides work clothing and job support for low-income women. Audience members are invited to donate their gently-used purses and other accessories in the theatre lobby.

Tickets ($75.00) are available via Telecharge.com (212-239-6200) and in-person at The Westside Theatre Box Office (407 West 43rd Street). The performance schedule is as follows: Wednesday and Saturday at 2 p.m. & 8 p.m., Thursday and Friday at 8 p.m., Sunday at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m.
