Anneliese van der Pol & Tim Realbuto to Bring ABOUT LAST NIGHT to 54 Below, 7/24

"That's So Raven" star Anneliese van der Pol teams up with actor/writer Tim Realbuto (Ghostlight; The Emperor's Club) for an evening of song, hilarity and personal reflection at popular venue 54 Below in July.

What happens when former child "star" and current popular New York writer Tim Realbuto stunt casts celebrity Anneliese van der Pol in his musical Ghostlight? The two fall madly in love and write a show together. That show is About Last Night... and they are bringing it to the stage for the first time ever at 54 Below. About Last Night will feature personal stories from both van der Pol and Realbuto ranging from their (sometimes) plutonic love affair, living together, addictions, getting hired and fired, dealing with the pressures of Young Hollywood, bad auditions, having to rush out of a Nathan's restaurant when the two of them and another friend were attacked by screaming drunk Raven fans, their extremely tentative (and terrifying) plans to have a baby together one day, and how they changed each other's lives so quickly... and for the better. Heartfelt, sometimes sad, but mostly hilarious, About Last Night is your chance to learn about the girl behind one of television's most beloved characters... and some guy named Tim who happens to be her friend.

The evening will feature celebrity prank calls, special guests and songs ranging from Sondheim to Beauty and the Beast, and yes even a classic or two from "That's So Raven." Written by Realbuto and conceived by van der Pol and Realbuto, the evening promises to give you an inside look at one of the craziest love stories ever told and a peek at the ups and downs of pursuing a life in show business. Matthew Martin, Realbuto's long-time collaborator will serve as a consultant on the evening and write new lyrics for songs created just for the show alongside Realbuto.

Tickets are priced at $25-$35 plus a $25 food and drink minimum. Tickets are currently on sale at www.54Below.com or in person at the 54 Below box office.
