MOCK YOUR WORLD Returns To The Beechman Theatre
MOCK YOUR WORLD, the spectacularly naughty Broadway musical parody event, returns to the Beechman Theatre on Thursday, November 11 at 9:30 PM. With music and lyrics by Andrew Byrne (with additional lyrics by Mark Blankenship) and directed by Amy Rogers, MOCK YOUR WORLD plays at the Laurie Beechman Theatre (407 West 42nd Street, between 9th and 10th Avenues, lower level). There is a $10 cover charge and a $15 food/drink minimum. Tickets are available by calling 212-695-6909. For more information, visit www.mockyourworld.com.
They cleaned up Times Square, but they didn't clean up Andrew Byrne! Broadway's naughtiest stars belt out his songs in MOCK YOUR WORLD.
Covering everything from botched auditions to public hook-ups, MOCK YOUR WORLD explores many of most hilarious (and occasionally filthy) aspects of life in the City (and life in the theater). With a talented cast of musical theater veterans, this evening of on-key but off-color songs is a blend of parodies and originals that is sure to leave you humming, cheering and blushing. It's like Forbidden Broadway...gone wild.
MOCK YOUR WORLD takes an unflinching look at sacred subjects, adds a Broadway melody, and turns them into a sidesplitting, taboo-shattering musical event. Now in its 2nd year, MOCK YOUR WORLD has sold out houses at Ars Nova, The Zipper and The Beechman.
In addition to Mr. Byrne, MOCK YOUR WORLD features Marya Grandy (Les Misérables), Chuck Ragsdale (Off Broadway's How to Save the World...), Lisa Rothauser (The Producers) and Jeffrey C. Wolf (Off Broadway's Cloud 9).
