Ryan Raftery And Friends: A SOLO ACT Returns To The Laurie Beechman Theatre 9/9
The man critics have called a "Demented Rat Packer for the Millennium!" returns to the Laurie Beechman Theatre with his all-singing, all-dancing show, Ryan Raftery & Friends: A SOLO ACT on Wednesday September 9th at 9:30pm.
According to press notes, "Brooklyn native Raftery sings everything from Rodgers and Hammerstein to Rihanna, interspersed with tales of his moving friendship with a hooker in the Deep South, his fabled rivalry with multi Grammy Award-winner Natalie Cole and much more.
No singer alive can compete with the glorious clanging of knives and forks better than Ryan Raftery!" Christopher Ciccone, author, Life With My Sister Madonna, calls it "Dietrich...with balls!" Marc Shaiman, the composer and lyricist of "Hairspray," says, "Kinda pitchy!"
The New York Observer cried "Hilarious!" while Stephen Trask (composer, Hedwig & The Angry Inch) described the show as "drag sans dress. Raftery poses as a fresh-faced lad then disrobes through song and patter to reveal a sordid past and a deeply perverted mind. And he kicks ass when he sings Jim Steinman songs!"
