Telecharge.com is now listing information for Kathy Griffin Wants a Tony as headed to Broadway's Belasco Theater in March, with performances now on sale from March 11-13, and 15-19. 

The site notes that "Double Emmy Award Winner Kathy Griffin is taking her stand-up comedy to Broadway in a show titled Kathy Griffin Wants a Tony and Broadway may never be the same again! Every night there will be fresh material due to the revolving door of pop culture, political and celebrity missteps. If you are in the market for an evening of laughter, swearing and negativity you've found the right show! "

Kathy Griffin may be known as the quintessential D-list diva, but not afraid to dish on everyone from Lindsay Lohan to Cher. She has shopped for bikinis with Paris Hilton, screamed and cheered alongside the "Clay-mates," and allegedly had a serious romantic relationship with Levi Johnston. You won't, however, catch her riffing on the Jews, the lesbians, or Barbara Walters - this divine diva knows her limits! Kathy Griffin is a multi-faceted performer whose rapid-fire wit has garnered her multiple Emmy Awards and two Grammy Award nominations for Best Comedy Album.

A Chicago native, GRIFFIN rose to fame during her four-year stint on the NBC sitcom "Suddenly Susan," playing Brooke Shields' acerbic colleague. After relocating to Los Angeles, she began building her professional resume with guest starring roles on "ER" and "Seinfeld," eventually gaining critical acclaim as a stand-up comedian and landing her own HBO Special. Griffin's television career quickly expanded to include appearances on late night talk shows, starring "roles" on reality TV shows, and multiple red carpet hosting appearances - some more well-received than others. In 2005, GRIFFIN's reality show "Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-list" debuted on Bravo to rave reviews. Now in its sixth season, "D-list" has won multiple Emmy Awards and skyrocketed GRIFFIN to widespread recognition, capitalizing on her candid observations and hilarious brand of humor.
