Gasteyer and Fleisher Head Back to Joe's Pub, May 22

After scoring a hit in her previous February 27th concert with Julian Fleisher, The Threepenny Opera star Ana Gasteyer and the popular jazz singer/musician will return to Joe's Pub (425 Lafayette St.) on May 22nd at 9:30 PM.
 
"Singing selections from basically every corner of the cannon, these two randy rapscallions promise 70 minutes of music, mayhem and frosty mojitos. Standard, contemporary, original and more: no tune is off limits, no era out-of-bounds and no rehearsal held on time," according to press notes.

Gasteyer and Fleisher first appeared together as part of the latter's hit three-week run at the World Financial Center's Winter Garden Nightclub Series last year.

Gasteyer, who was last seen as Wicked's Elphaba on the Chicago stage, appears as Mrs. Peachum in the starry Roundabout Theatre Company revival of The Threepenny Opera, which opens on April 20th.  The star, who appeared on "Saturday Night Live" from 1996 to 2002, made her Broadway debut in The Rocky Horror Show, and appeared off-Broadway in Kimberly Akimbo and The Vagina Monologues. She was seen regionally as Fanny Brice in Funny Girl and also in Cinderella at New York City Opera. Her film and TV credits include "Reefer Madness: The Musical," Mean Girls, What Women Want, Dick and What's The Worst That Could Happen?

Fleisher, who is heard on the CD Rather Big (on Modern Records), recently composed music for the off-Broadway John Cariani play Almost, Maine. He is also behind the Julian Fleisher Presents: Monday Music series at Starlight in the East Village, and produced the CD Kiki & Herb Will Die For You at Carnegie Hall.

Tickets are $20 in advance and $23 at the door. They can be ordered by calling (212) 239-6200 or by visiting www.telecharge.com.
