Cult sensation DINA MARTINA returns to New York with an encore engagement of DINA MARTINA: SITTING OVATIONS. After quickly selling out a two performance run in June, Martina brings this unique night of performance back to The Laurie Beechman Theater for three nights only beginning Thursday, September 23. After attaining cult status in her native town of Seattle and touring nationally, Martina's official New York debut in 2005 sold out in minutes. Her follow-up shows have left jaded audiences (including Whoopi Goldberg, John Waters, S. Epatha Merkerson, John Cameron Mitchell, Margaret Cho, Rue McClanahan, Bruce Vilanch, Joyce Dewitt, and Jeff Stryker -- a list as strange has her shows) stunned and clamoring for more.
