Finding Dorothy Parker, an evening celebrating the wit and wisdom of Dorothy Parker, will play three performances, September 2 – 4, at The Laurie Beechman Theatre at West Bank Café. Compiled and directed by five-time Tony Award nominee Douglas Carter Beane, the evening features an all-star ensemble of Broadway favorites: Tony Award honoree Julie Halston (Tootsie, You Can’t Take It With You), Ann Harada (Avenue Q, Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella), Jackie Hoffman (Hairspray, The Addams Family, Xanadu), and Tony Award nominee Anika Larsen (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, Rent), Music is by composer Alistair Wroe (Prince Faggot at Playwrights Horizon.
Finding Dorothy Parker is a sparkling revue and whirlwind tour of Dorothy Parker’s hilarious and wise material performed by some of the funniest women on Broadway. Dorothy Parker was the razor-sharp wit of the Roaring Twenties, a cocktail-sipping literary firecracker who made her mark with her words and her style. Parker’s dazzling wit graced the pages of Vanity Fair (where she was a staff writer and theater critic), The New Yorker (where she was one of its earliest contributors), Vogue, Life, The Saturday Evening Post, and her short stories, poems, and reviews have been collected into several books. Whether she was penning scathing reviews, unforgettable one-liners, or melancholic poetry, Parker’s unapologetic brilliance and biting humor made her a legend. Dorothy Parker - An intoxicating mix of biting social commentary and campy fabulousness that continues to sparkle like a glass of champagne.
“I have always wanted to do an evening of Dorothy Parker with four of Broadway’s funniest ladies in the style of Don Juan in Hell,”. Says Douglas Carter Beane. “Well we’re not in Hell now. We’re in Hell's Kitchen. So hello, Vagina Monologues and Love, Loss and what I Wore. …Come meet your sassy sister!”
