Jackie Hoffman Brings MEMOIRCITA! to Los Angeles LGBT Center
The Los Angeles LGBT Center's Lily Tomlin/Jane Wagner Cultural Arts Center has announced the West Coast premiere of Memoircita!, the new solo show by award-winning Broadway and TV star Jackie Hoffman. Most recently celebrated for her role as Mamacita in the hit FX miniseries FEUD: Bette and Joan, Hoffman returns to the Center's Renberg Theatre for three performances only on Friday and Saturday, May 11 and 12 at 8pm and Sunday, May 13 at 7pm.
Perhaps best known for making a public spectacle of herself at last year's Emmy Awards, Jackie Hoffman continues her downward spiral in Los Angeles. Fresh off her fifth Broadway musical, this self-loathing scene stealer shares the inside dish on Broadway, filming FEUD: Bette and Joan, and all things Emmy.
Long on comic talent and vocal power, short on patience with many things (children included), actor and comedian Jackie Hoffman is one of the stage and screen's favorite scene stealers. After shining in supporting roles in Broadway's Hairspray, Xanadu, The Addams Family, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, she made the transition to leading lady in last year's critically-acclaimed off-Broadway revival of Once Upon a Mattress. She is also a fan favorite at New York's Joe's Pub, where she has performed a string of bawdy, vaudevillian solo shows including The Kvetching Continues, the venue's longest running show of all time. Fresh off her Emmy-nominated performance as Mamacita in FX's FEUD: Betty and Joan, the Theatre World Award and Obie Award-winning Hoffman takes over the Renberg for a night of show tunes, covers, original songs, and, as the New York Times called it, "kvetching on an operatic scale."
Music Director Bobby Peaco has been a well-respected member of the New York cabaret community for nearly 20 years, garnering nine MAC awards (presented by the Manhattan Association of Clubs and Cabarets) for his work in the piano bars, and six Bistro Awards presented by Back Stage.
General admission seating is $30. VIP tickets (including a post-show reception with Ms. Hoffman) are available ($60) for the Saturday, May 12 performance only. Tickets are available online at www.lalgbtcenter.org/theatre, or by calling (323) 860-7300. The Los Angeles LGBT Center's Renberg Theatre is located at 1125 N. McCadden Place (one block east of Highland, just north of Santa Monica Boulevard), in Hollywood, 90038.
