Marcus Center's Vogel Hall Welcomes DIXIE'S TUPPERWARE PARTY Tonight
Dixie's Tupperware Party, the hilarious Off-Broadway show starring Dixie Longate (2008 Drama Desk Nomination) - will celebrate its 750th performance on tour Wednesday, May 22nd at Milwaukee's Marcus Center (making it one of the longest-running off Broadway tours of the last decade). The show that has played to sell-out performances in 5 countries and brought in more than $3 million in sales has played major markets during its five years on the road. Produced by Down South LLC and written by Kris Andersson, the show which brought Tupperware-mania to Off Broadway and prompted NBC's Today Show to proclaim "Not Your Grandmother's Tupperware Party!" has continued to wow critics and audiences around the world and promises to do the samenext season which includes several repeat city engagements due to strong critical response and sold-out runs. "Dixie's show is definitely a favorite of Denver audiences. Looking forward to the next time--its a guaranteed winner for us!" said Randy Weeks, President/Chief Operating Officer of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. "Three years ago, when Dixie brought her first Tupperware Party to Fort Worth, she sold out nearly every single show," said Dione Kennedy, President & CEO of Performing Arts Fort Worth. "We knew the show was something special and that our patrons would love it. We've had Dixie back twice since then, and her shows continue to be the hottest tickets in town. We can't wait to have her again."
Directed by Patrick Richwood, Dixie's Tupperware Party stars Dixie Longate, as the fast-talking Tupperware Lady, who has packed up her catalogues, and left her children in an Alabama trailer park to journey around the world. Critics and audiences have howled with laughter as Dixie throws an actual onstage Tupperware Party filled with outrageously funny tales, heartfelt accounts, FREE giveaways, audience participation and the most fabulous assortment of Tupperware ever sold on a theater stage.
Dixie's Tupperware Party features costumes designed by Miss Longate, lighting designed by Richard Winkler and sound designed by Kit Bond.For more information about Dixie's Tupperware Party log onto: www.DixiesTupperwareParty.com
