THE GREEN ROOM 42 will present Amy Jo Jackson in Laugh it Up on Tuesday, July 8th, 2025 at 7:00pm.
Award-winning kabarettist and comedienne Amy Jo Jackson (Regency Girls, The Brass Menagerie, A24's Dicks the Musical) returns to The Green Room 42, for it seems that only the Art of Cabaret can dry the tears of this clown. Expect a setlist eclectic enough to give you whiplash: a combination of rock and Broadway classics, along with the debut of some original tunes written by Amy Jo. Hijinks and high belting will ensue as AJJ and music director Brian Nash bring their signature combination of highbrow wit and utter stupidity back to midtown.
To sing music from Jackson's original musical HATCHETATION are special guests Natalie Walker (Lortel and Drama Desk nominations, The Big Gay Jamboree), Bebe Nicole Simpson (Cats: Jellicle Ball, Camelot), Pearl Rhein (Great Comet), Sushma Saha (1776), and Ana Laura Santana (Hartford Stage's Winter's Tale). Livestream tickets available.
“It's something else to see a performer of this caliber channel her significant range and her masterful acting into the discipline of serving her content and her audience.” – Bistro Awards
