Jessica Fontana to Debut Solo Show at the Cutting Room

Jessica Fontana, the Broadway actress and co-creator of the hit podcast "Support For This Podcast," will debut her solo show, Jessica Fontana: What You See Is What You Get. This special, two-night-only engagement will take place at The Cutting Room (44 E. 32nd Street) on Thursday, June 13 and Monday, June 17 at 7:00 p.m. For tickets and additional information, please visit thecuttingroomnyc.com or call (212) 691-1900.

Don't miss the cabaret debut of the cutting-edge performer Wingate-Kirkland Summer Camp awarded, "Most Likely To Hold The Door Open For You." Please be advised there will be no twists, turns, or Two-Time Tony nominated surprise spouse appearances.

Join the fairer Fontana as she shares embarrassing (i.e. scarring) anecdotes from her childhood, thrilling moments from her career, and irreverent life lessons. All woven together with Fontana's flawless soprano, extraordinary humility, heart, and humor.

The evening is directed by Gina Rattan (last represented on Broadway as the associate director of Angels in America), with musical direction by Joe Kinosian (award-winning composer of Murder For Two), and projections by Nicholas Hussong.
