RIALTO CHATTER: LONG STORY SHORT to Play at Helen Hayes?
Though no official announcement has been made, according to Telecharge.com (and spotted by eagle-eyed viewers), LONG STORY SHORT might be booked a Broadway run at the Helen Hayes Theatre. Tickets can be be purchased at http://www.telecharge.com/BehindTheCurtain.aspx?prodid=8311, and the site reports that performances will begin October 22.
"Colin Quinn Long Story Short" recently ran off-Broadway at the Bleecker Street Theatre. The Jerry Seinfeld directed production began performances on Saturday, June 19th and played an eleven week limited engagement.
Comically channeling the demise of every great world empire, Colin Quinn takes the audience through an uproarious history of the world in 75 minutes. From his personification of Caesar as the original Italian mobster to his depiction of the pizza-ordering styles of imperialists and colonialists, Quinn is at his satirical best, taking on the attitudes, appetites and habits that toppled the world's most powerful nations. Colin Quinn Long Story Short proves that throughout human history, the joke has always been on us.
