Mildred Scrodum Debuts New Show at Metropolitan Room
Comedian-singer, Gary Northrup, brings his alter ego, Mildred Scrodum, to the Metropolitan Room in NYC on June 9th at 9:30pm for one performance of "An Evening with Mildred Scrodum and Friends" starring Gary Northrup, Hanna Burke and Joshua Bennett. Northrup's Mildred is a charming and hilarious character based on real women from Gary Northrup's childhood in the Bible Belt, where he believed there was a wild woman even in the most stalwart of Christian ladies. Mildred lives in the "One Last Time Trailer Park."
The show, with music, tells tales of Mildred's deadbeat husband Harry Scrodum, her gay son Harry Scrodum Jr., and her good friends Noreen Duran (that's pronounced No-reen) and Nadine Finkelstein. YasuhikoFukuoka will accompany Northrup, Burke and Bennett on customized parody songs set to familiar tunes including "Stars Fell on Alabama," "Oh What a Beautiful Mornin'," and "Friends." Since debuting as Mildred Scrodum in NYC to a sold out crowd at The Duplex, Northrup has appeared at Don't Tell Mama, The Producer's Club, The Downtown Cabaret in Birmingham, Alabama, and for a week at the Rochester Fringe Festival. He recently participated in the Metropolitan Room's popular Next Top Drag Queen Contest, produced by Joseph Macchia.
