Mack & Poppy America's Best Least-Known Lounge Act Return For An Encore Of 'TIL DEATH DO US PART
Mack & Poppy, the nation's best least-known lounge act, return to Los Angeles with their acclaimed show 'Til Death Do Us Part, for three shows only on Friday, May 11 and Saturday, May 12 at 9pm, and Sunday, May 13 at 7pm, at Cavern Club Celebrity Theater inside Casita Del Campo Restaurant in Silver Lake. With a musical look at their tumultuous, legendary marriage and professional partnership, this dynamic duo of comedy and song takes audiences on a trip down memory lane recalling their first meeting, courtship, marriage, and their meteoric rise from total obscurity to semi-fame.
Mack & Poppy are the creation of Christopher Michael Graham and Tod Macofsky. Crooner Mack Diamond (Macofsky) began his career as a child star, singing on street corners with his two older brothers, Shlomo and Moishe. Later, Mack suffered a decade of depression and alcoholism in Las Vegas, where he spent eight years performing his solo show, A Yiddishe Mackie, at The Imperial Palace. He met the lovely Poppy Fields while she was in the chorus of Jubilee!, and the rest is showbiz history.
Southern Belle Poppy Fields (Graham) escaped the narrow-minded confines of Possum Trot, Alabama, and traveled the world as a singer/dancer/actress, entertaining celebrities, businessmen, and heads-of-state. After a successful beauty pageant career, the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas called, where Poppy wed and divorced four husbands before finally meeting and marrying the "Sensation of the 24-hour Buffet," entertainer Mack Diamond.
Music direction is by the critically acclaimed Jack Cheddar (John Randall).
Net proceeds from these shows will benefit this year's AIDS/LifeCycle Ride (June 3-9), in which both Mack and Poppy will be participating.
Admission for Mack & Poppy: 'Til Death Do Us Part is $20 in advance and $25 at the door (subject to availability). Tickets are available now and may be purchased online at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/3385658 or by phone at (800) 838-3006. For more information, visit www.mackandpoppy.com.
