Bridget Everett's ROCK BOTTOM Returning to The Public in January 2015

Due to popular demand and a recent sold-out run at Joe's Pub, The Public Theater announced today it will bring back Bridget Everett's ROCK BOTTOM for 18 additional performances, January 6-February 20, 2015. Created by Bridget Everett, with Marc Shaiman, Scott Wittman, Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz and Matt Ray, and directed by Scott Wittman, 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 and was extended until its limited engagement ended on October 16.

"How could we, a mere theater, resist the unstoppable force that is Bridget Everett?" said Public Theater Artistic Director Oskar Eustis. "Resistance was futile - and not really as fun as bringing her back."

"It has been absolutely thrilling to watch how New York has embraced and exalted Rock Bottom and Bridget," said Director of Joe's Pub Shanta Thake. "We are delighted to be able to offer another dose of this phenomenal artist!"

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 is to be announced. Everett's lavish costumes are by Larry Krone for House of Larréon.

Tickets for this return engagement are available now by calling (212) 967-7555, www.publictheater.org, or in person at The Taub Box Office at The Public Theater at 425 Lafayette Street. Member tickets are priced at $30 and single tickets are $40. Joe's Pub at The Public serves food nightly but there is no food or drink minimum for ROCK BOTTOM. The Library at The Public is open nightly for food and drinks, beginning at 5:30 p.m.
