Leslie Jordan Returns to the Los Angeles LGBT Center, Now thru 12/21
Jordan, who recently created a sensation in London on the reality TV show Celebrity Big Brother, has received rave reviews wherever he has performed Fruit Fly, a heartfelt and hilarious homage to his parents (especially his mother) and growing up gay in the Deep South. Touching and bawdy, Fruit Fly contains all the elements that have made Jordan an international star ... preternatural charm, exquisite comic timing, total honesty, and spicy, libidinous fun.
In the show, Jordan asks the age-old question, "Do Gay Men Really Become Their Mothers?" He has crafted a look back at how his Southern Belle mom, Miss Peggy Sue-an indomitable steel magnolia who inspires him to this day-survived his tales of woe, regret, success, and rewards. Directed by David Galligan, this show-and-tell tribute will have audiences captivated by the gamut of emotions served up by this no-holds-barred performer.
Leslie Jordan: Fruit Fly is set to open on Thursday, December 4 at 8pm for a limited run through December 21 only. Performances are Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 7pm. General admission seating is $35, and tickets are on sale now online at www.lalgbtcenter.org/theatre or by phone at (323) 860-7300. The Renberg Theatre is located at the Los Angeles LGBT Center's Village at Ed Gould Plaza, 1125 N. McCadden Place (one block east of Highland, just north of Santa Monica Boulevard), in Hollywood. Free onsite parking is available.
