GENDER BENDER Returns to Arthur Newman, 9/18
The morning after they appeared at the Arthur Newman Theatre back in July, producer Les Michaels' phone was ringing off the hook with people saying it was one of the best shows they have seen in the desert in many a year and that they had to see it again and bring all their friends. Fortunately, Joslyn Center Director Peter Rittenhouse was getting the same calls and that helped him decide to extend Mr. Michaels Summer Cabaret Concert Series through August and now through December with another 10 dates.
What made "Gender Bender" so different? It's the twist! Local residence Doug Graham and Charles Herrera loved the wonderful standards and Broadway songs that were written for woman and decided it was about time that two manly men got the chance to sing them. So, with the help of musical director Paul Cracchiolo, director Larry Lazarro, plus choreography by Doug Graham, "Gender Bender" was born.
Charles Herrera has been an actor singer and voice over artist for over 25 years and most recently starred in "Decades", and "Gershwin Time" for Cabaret Theatre West in Indian Wells. Doug Graham has toured in such shows as "Bob Fosse's Dancin", "A Chorus Line", "Phantom Of The Opera", "Will Rogers Follies", "Woman Of The Year", "Dames At Sea" "Chess", "Fantasticks", "Chicago" and "Cats", which by the way, he'll be playing the role of Rum Tum Tugger in the upcoming Palm Canyon Theater production.
