BWW EXCLUSIVE: Roslyn Hart & Nick Chase of SHELLS
by Pat Cerasaro
- May 25, 2011
Today we are talking to the eponymous star of SHELLS herself - Roslyn Hart - in addition to the writer/director of the (mostly) one-woman-show, Nick Chase, that is equal parts 21st century party girl antics, Sandra Bernhard-esque confessionals, songs evocative of Kiki & Herb, and Joan Rivers-style in-your-face humor - all with an ultra-twenty-first century, tongue-in-cheek spin parodying the vacuous personalities of the people on magazine covers today and sending up the excesses of our own society and what we value. Plus, there are some specially selected song choices on display for all to enjoy, as well - ranging from outrageous original material to covers of songs such as Marilyn Manson's 'The Beautiful People' and Janet Jackson's 'If' - and, as a special bonus, performance clips of both those numbers from SHELLS are also available at the end of the article! SHELLS opens tomorrow night at 9:30 PM at Joe's Pub. Tickets are available here.
