Legendary triple-threat performer and recognizable stage and screen star Anita Gillette is set to bring her highly enjoyable solo show, AFTER ALL, to New York City's hallowed Metropolitan Room next month for a series of special holiday shows.

Anita Gillette's AFTER ALL features many familiar songs from the legendary performer's rich theatrical career, as well as stories from her participation in such celebrated film and TV projects such as MOONSTRUCK, 30 ROCK and more.

The official show description is as follows: "Anita Gillette was Tina Fey's mom on 30 ROCK and plays Annie Fitzsimmons in MODERN FAMILY. She is a Broadway veteran with fourteen Broadway shows to her credit, including CHAPTER TWO, for which she won a Tony nomination, CABARET, MR.
