Salty Brine to Debut New Cabaret Inspired by DIRTY DANCING Soundtrack in July

Salty Brine announces the premiere of a new cabaret, I Carried a Watermelon, as the next installment in his series, Salty Brine's Spectacular Living Record Collection Cabaret. Salty Brine's Spectacular Living Record Collection Cabaret, which performs on Wednesdays as part of Brine's residency at The Red Room (85 E. 4th St.), explores a different iconic album each month in a live cabaret setting. I Carried a Watermelon, inspired by the soundtrack to Dirty Dancing, will run on July 8, 15, 22 and 29 with doors opening at 7:30pm and shows beginning at 8:00pm.

It was the summer of 1963. But also it was the summer of 1987. Now it's the summer of 2015, and Salty "Baby" Brine is haunted by magical, terrifying memories of young love in the Catskill Mountains. Experience the award-winning soundtrack to the smash-hit film Dirty Dancing in this month's edition of Salty Brine's Spectacular Living Record Collection Cabaret.

I Carried a Watermelon, written by and featuring T. Adamson and Cat Crowley, is directed by Andrew Neisler with dramaturgy by James Monaco and arrangements by Nate Weida. The show features lighting design by Mike McGee, sound design by Isaac Jones, and costume design by nightlife personality One-Half Nelson.

Tickets are $10 and can be purchased online at www.thesaltiestbrine.com.

About Salty Brine's Spectacular Living Record Collection Cabaret
