The Zipper Factory Theater (located at 336 West 37th Street, between 8th and 9th Avenues) proudly announces the return of OUR HIT PARADE, the acclaimed revue starring Kenny Mellman, Bridget Everett and Neal Medlyn. The show begins monthly performances at The Zipper beginning Saturday, January 31, 2009 at 10:30 p.m.
OUR HIT PARADE is a live top-ten countdown show created by Tony nominee and Obie winner Kenny Mellman (Kiki & Herb), carnal chanteuse Bridget Everett (At Least It's Pink at Ars Nova), pop song opera impresario Neal Medlyn (Neal Medlyn's Unpronounceable Symbol at P.S. 122), producer and MTV cameraman Brendan Kennedy, and writers Ada Calhoun and Peter Schjeldahl. The show is inspired by the musical sketch series "Your Hit Parade" that ran on radio and then television from 1935 to 1959. On that show, cast members performed the week's most popular songs as comically literal skits. In this show, the hosts and special guest stars from the local performance scene present their renditions of current popular hits live on stage!
OUR HIT PARADE was previously performed at the 2008 TBA Festival in Portland Oregon. The Zipper Factory Theater hosted the New York premiere in December 2008.
OUR HIT PARADE will be performed at The Zipper on the following dates & times in the coming months:
Saturday, January 31 at 10:30 p.m.
Wednesday, February 25 at 8 p.m.
Wednesday, March 25 at 8 p.m.
