Bridget Everett's Acclaimed ROCK BOTTOM Returns to Joe's Pub Tomorrow

The Public Theater begins performances for the return engagement of Bridget Everett's ROCK BOTTOM on Tuesday, January 6. Due to popular demand and a recent sold-out run, the show returns to Joe's Pub for 18 additional performances. Created by Bridget Everett, with Marc Shaiman, Scott Wittman, Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz and Matt Ray, and directed by Scott Wittman with Marc Shaiman serving as the musical director and pianist for the full return run, this shockingly funny and moving show was originally commissioned as part of the Joe's Pub 2013 New York Voices series and became a downtown hit when it opened to critical acclaim in September 2014 and was extended until its limited engagement ended on October 16.

ROCK BOTTOM is what happens when you are too passionate to give up, and too big to fail. The ferociously talented Bridget Everett wrote the show, a chardonnay-soaked journey through the highs and lows of her life, with the Tony Award-winning songwriting duo Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman. Longtime collaborators and friends Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz and Matt Ray contributed music as well. In it, Everett shares intensely personal moments next to wildly hilarious ones, baring her heart and much more to her audiences. ROCK BOTTOM features new original songs written with Shaiman, Wittman, Ray and Horovitz, plus favorites from Everett's monthly sold-out show with the Tender Moments.

Featuring Bridget Everett, the complete company of ROCK BOTTOM includes Celisse Henderson, Paul Iacono, and Chelsea Packard. Everett's lavish costumes are by Larry Krone for House of Larréon. The musicians are David Berger (drums), Jason DiMatteo (bass), Mike Jackson (guitar), and Marc Shaiman (music director, piano).
