Megan Mullally & Supreme Music Program Kick Off the 10-11 Cabaret Series At OCPAC

Emmy® Award-winning actress, comedienne and singer Megan Mullally returns to the Orange County Performing Arts Center with her band Supreme Music Program October 7 - 10 to open the 2010-2011 Cabaret Series in Samueli Theater. Best known for her Emmy-winning performances as Karen Walker on NBC's hit show Will and Grace, Center audiences discovered in her sold-out Cabaret debut a few seasons back that this multi-talented star is also an incredibly gifted singer who can perform everything from country to rock to Broadway showstoppers.

Recently, Mullally and Supreme Music Program made their international debut on the West End,
performing at the Vaudeville Theater in London. Mullally's concert appearances with Supreme Music
Program include The Allen Room at The Lincoln Center, The Kennedy Center, The Seattle Symphony, Chicago's Goodman Theatre and SUNY Buffalo Performing Arts. She also has appeared as a soloist at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. She has made three CDs with Supreme Music Program titled The Sweetheart Break-In, Big As A Berry and Free Again. She can also be heard singing the solo barn burner song "You Took Advantage of Me" on the FAME soundtrack.

Tickets to Megan Mullally and Supreme Music Program are $72 and go on sale August 22. They will be available at OCPAC.org, at the Center's Box Office at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa or by calling 714.556.2787. For inquiries about group ticket discounts for 15 or more, call the Group Services office at 714.755.0236. The TTY number is 714.556.2746.

One of Hollywood's most versatile talents, Mullally has appeared on Broadway, in concert halls, in films and on television. She can be seen now in the Starz hit cable series Party Down and as Chief on the new Adult Swim comedy Childrens Hospital. Mullally appeared in the 2009 remake of Fame, will recur in the fall as Tammy on NBC's Parks and Recreation, and played the role of Beverly Wilkins in the critically acclaimed West Coast debut of The Receptionist at the Odyssey Theatre in Los Angeles, for which she recently won her second BackStage West Garland Award for Best Performance in a Play.
