Stars from LES MIZ, EVITA and More Line Up for Tim Realbuto's 'BECAUSE I CAN' at The Met Room

By:
Tim Realbuto, popular singer, actor and playwright, returns to The Metropolitan Room with his new show on Friday, May 5, at 7 p.m.

Mr. Realbuto is most known for his starring performances in the award nominated play 'The Weak Ones'; as well as the critically acclaimed (and extended) Off-Broadway hit 'YES' at The Manhattan Repertory Theatre. He is the co-writer of the Broadway aimed musical 'Ghostlight' (along with Matthew Martin), and is well known for touring his one man show 'Tim Realbuto: Wunderkind' for well over a year.

On TV, he was featured on "The Sopranos"; "Law and Order: SVU"; as well as two seasons as co-host on Nickelodeon's "The Big Help." His many film credits include 'The Emperor's Club' opposite Kevin Kline; 'Sex and the City: The Movie'; Disney's 'Enchanted'; and Woody Allen's 'Deconstructing Harry.'

In Tim Realbuto: BECAUSE I CAN, expect an evening of this up and coming New York star singing the songs he loves to sing. Sondheim, Lady Gaga, and everything in between. And he will sing it all because it's his concert and... well, because he can.

The show will feature Broadway guest stars singing duets with Tim that include Laurissa Romain, aka "Lala", (South Pacific) and Chris Rock's Film, "Top Five", Joshua Morgan, (Les Miserables), Mavis Simpson Ernst (Evita) and more surprise guests! There will be a full band, raffle prizes and a 20 person chorus. Musical direction will be provided by Julianne B. Merrill ('Allegro')."

A portion of the evening's proceeds will go directly to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids. Tickets, starting at $24, with $25 food/drink min., are available by visiting metropolitanroom.com/event.cfm?id=252059&cart or www.metropolitanroom.com.
