Drew Droege's HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOUG Opens Thursday With Valentine's Night Special On Friday

Opening this week, producer Michael Urie presents HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOUG - a new comedy written and performed by Drew Droege (the Internet's "Chloë," "Drunk History," "Bob's Burgers," RuPaul's "AJ and the Queen" on Netflix) - performed at SoHo Playhouse (15 Vandam Street, between 6th Avenue and Varick Street in Manhattan).

The show is currently in previews for a limited run through to Sunday, March 1. Opening night is set for this Thursday, February 13. The play is directed by Tom Detrinis (Bright Colors And Bold Patterns) and produced in association with Zach Laks.

The show will present "Valentine's Night Special: Drink with Doug" for the Friday, February 14 performance at 9:00 PM. All patrons who buy a ticket with code "VDAY" for Friday' show will receive TWO free drinks at SoHo Playhouse, one before the performance and one after. Offers cannot be combined.

"Drew's singular voice is as funny as it is wise," says producer Michael Urie. "When I saw his new play and met the guests at Doug's birthday party, I knew it was a night I could celebrate over and over again. I can't wait to re-team with Zach, Tom and Drew at Soho Playhouse."

Tonight, Doug turns 41. His favorite, and least favorite, gay men have made the invite list: friends, exes, nightmares, tricks, and even a ghost. Happy Birthday Doug is a wicked and wild hour-long celebration of modern gay culture, with tons of wine. Consider this your cordial invitation.

Happy Birthday Doug is a follow up to Bright Colors And Bold Patterns, Droege's hit hailed as "scorchingly funny" by The New York Times, which enjoyed a celebrated five-month Off Broadway run at the SoHo Playhouse in 2018, and is also available from BroadwayHD.

Happy Birthday Doug is produced by Michael Urie, Zach Laks, Andrew Tobias, Tom Wirtshafter, Dan T. Shaheen, Jamie deRoy, Riki Kane Larimer, Driemeyer-Sills Productions, and Anthony Francavilla. William Vann Carlton is the production stage manager, with Nina Trotto serving as assistant stage manager.

Happy Birthday Doug had a workshop production at New York's World Pride Celebration in 2019, in addition to engagements at the Celebration Theater and Dynasty Typewriter in Los Angeles.
