MARRY MURDER F*@# ! A BALLROOM COMEDY Comes To NYC This Fall
Written during The Great Pause, it's a reminder to "find the funny," no matter what.
Just when audiences are looking for something uplifting and unique, MARRY MURDER F*&%K, a ballroom comedy, is coming to New York. It's set to play 8 shows between September 24th and October 3rd at The Flea Theater, 20 Thomas St.
Written during The Great Pause, it's a reminder to "find the funny," no matter what, something lead character Rae Applebaum needs to keep in mind. A struggling New York playwright, she comes home to find her widowed mother in the arms of a young, half-naked ballroom dance instructor. Distraught, Rae hires Herschel Simon, a zany private detective. The result is not only combustible comedy; it's also heartwarming, ultimately universal storytelling as Rae uncovers truths about herself.
MARRY MURDER F*@# ! is the epitome of art imitating life. It was written by Candace H.
Caplin (actress, nationally published journalist, and humorist), and Kim St Leon, (award-winning screenwriter and director) after Caplin's mother brought home a young lover, inspiring this play as well as the screenplay WE GOT TROUBLE. In a further nod to the art/life adage, Caplin, cast as Sophie Applebaum plays against Ronny Dutra, her actual ballroom dance instructor.
Joining the cast are Audrey Rose Young and Gary Wolf. The show is directed by Kim St Leon and Ronny Dutra, (just directed the indie film RIO UPHILL - A New Musical, works closely with Stephen Schwartz on Brazilian adaptations).
MARRY MURDER F*@# ! will have a limited engagement of eight shows, beginning Friday,
September 24th at 8pm and continuing Saturdays (2pm and 8pm) and Sundays (3pm) at The
Flea theater (20 Thomas St.) Tickets, priced at $50, are available online at Eventbrite.com. Vax
proof at the door (pics of card acceptable) and masks.
