Ute Lemper's 'Bukowski Project' Plays Joe's Pub, Closes 8/22

August 22 will be the final performance of 'The Bukowski Project' at Joe's Pub, featuring Broadway and West End star Ute Lemper (CHICAGO), who is also credited with the artistic idea, conception, and music. Additional composition and arrangements are by Todd Turkisher and Vana Gierig.

The show is described as "a journey through the poetry of Charles Bukowski," and draws heavily from his following three books: 'The Last Night of the Earth Poems,' 'What Matters Most is How Well You Walk Through Fire,' and 'You Get So Alone At Times That it Just Makes Sense.' 'The Bukowski Project' will play four performances: August 19 at 7PM, August 21 at 7PM, and August 22 at 7PM and 9:30PM. Tickets are $30 and are now available purchase at joespub.com.
