The Virgin Mary Sets The Story Straight in Her 5th Annual Holiday Show A VERY MARY CHRISTMAS 2 YOU, TOO ** Starring RuPaul's Drag Race Season 3 contestant Mimi Imfurst ** December 11 at Laurie Beechman Theater

"You could go to Irving Berlin's White Christmas or the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, but then how could you look at yourself in the mirror the next morning? Instead, try the holiday show that dares to dress our Holy Mother in drag." - New York Observer

The Virgin Mary returns for her 5th annual holiday show, A VERY MARY CHRISTMAS 2 YOU, TOO at The Laurie Beechman Theater (inside West Bank Cafe at 407 West 42nd Street -- at Ninth Avenue, accessible from the A,C,E,N,R,V,F,1,2,3 trains at 42nd Street). The show features drag star MIMI IMFURST, who is slated to be a contestant on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 3, as the Blessed Mother, along with some very special guests. This one-night-only engagement runs Saturday, December 11 at 7:30pm. Tickets are $20, plus a $15 food/drink minimum. To purchase tickets call 212-352-3101 or visit www.SpinCycleNYC.com.

Over 2000 years ago in the little hillside town of Bethlehem a miraculous birth occurred. You might think you know the real story, but you don't. Jesus' mother sets the record straight with A VERY MARY CHRISTMAS 2 YOU, TOO, a boozy, Vegas-style musical retelling of the birth and life of the young Jesus Christ. This inspiring holiday show features original music, plus so-wrong-it's-right parodies of holiday favorites and Top 40 hits by the likes of Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Rihanna and the more-famous Madonna. And this year, Mary will finally reveal a deep, dark secret she has been keeping... one that may change the holidays forever!

A VERY MARY CHRISTMAS 2 YOU, TOO is conceived and delivered by drag writer/performer Mimi Imfurst and composer/lyricist/arranger Mike Pettry (winner of the 2007 Jonathan Larson and Fredrick Loewe Awards). It features costumes by Norrell Gardner (Project Runway, Gossip Girl),
puppets by Mark Salinas and props by Jeb Knight. The show is the 5th annual installment of Mimi Imfurst's Virgin Mary series, which offers insight into the psyche of the teen mother and the choices Mary had to make as a 13 year-old bride. It has been hailed by the Catholic Advocacy Coalition as "worse than the sin of abortion" and "despicable, blasphemous and abominable trash" by DailyCatholic.org (who never saw the show).

Described by Back Stage as "somewhere between a plump Ricki Lake and a bawdy Bette Midler," MIMI IMFURST has quickly established herself as one of NYC's most outrageous, controversial, and hysterical nightlife personalities. IN 2009, she opened for Kathy Griffin at Milwaukee Pridefest. The inaugural production of Mary, Like A Virgin earned Mimi Imfurst a prominent spot on the Catholic League's 2006 Report on Anti Catholicism and a #2 spot on the Catholic Advocacy Coalition's Top 10 Most Anti-Catholic People of the Year, following Dan Brown (The Da Vinci Code) in the #1 spot and beating out President George W. Bush at #3. Her Virgin Mary shows include A Very Mary Christmas, Holy Sh*t It's Christmas! And Madonna;s Christmas Celebration, which toured
nationally in 2009. She has appeared in regional and New York productions of Hedwig and the Angry Inch (Hedwig), The Rocky Horror Show (Frank N Furter), The Facts of Life: The Lost Episode (Natalie), The Diary of Anne Frankenstein (Anne), The Golden Girls musical parody Thank You For Being A Friend (Roz) and the current Cher/Christina Aquilera movie parody Boylesque (Cher). In January 2011, she will appear as a contestant on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 3. For more
