Cult sensation DINA MARTINA returns to New York with an encore engagement of DINA MARTINA: SITTING OVATIONS. After quickly selling out a two performance run in June, Martina brings this unique night of performance back to The Laurie Beechman Theater for three nights only beginning Thursday, September 23. After attaining cult status in her native town of Seattle and touring nationally, Martina's official New York debut in 2005 sold out in minutes. Her follow-up shows have left jaded audiences (including Whoopi Goldberg, John Waters, S. Epatha Merkerson, John Cameron Mitchell, Margaret Cho, Rue McClanahan, Bruce Vilanch, Joyce Dewitt, and Jeff Stryker -- a list as strange has her shows) stunned and clamoring for more.
Where else have these actors performed and how did they get into 'The Dictator?' How does ELTC's artistic director Gayle Stahlhuth choose a show and a season? How and why do actors even do what they do? And who is playwright/journalist Richard Harding Davis?

'I found Pedro Rivas in New York; sent him back to his country, and made him President. My brains. My money. They think I'm only the new American Consul, but when they go to Rivas for a concession, he'll say, 'Have you seen Bowie?' I'm the Dictator of that Republic, and he knows it. I'm the kingmaker, the Warwick, the man behind the throne. Pedro Rivas can be President, but Colonel John T. Bowie is boss.'
Cumming's impish charm is undiminished. The show was 15 minutes shorter, with 12 songs instead of 15. The best anecdotes are still in, like Ann Miller's obscene comment about Eyes Wide Shut, and there are a few new ones, like about his 45th birthday tupperware party and the hilarious saga of his participation in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade 2009, but the banter is still fresh and spontaneous and typically Cumming-esque. 7 songs remain from the CD I Bought a Blue Car Today and a couple of new songs have been added. I especially loved the medley of Bacharach and Sondheim - 'I Still Have That Other Girl'/'Losing My Mind' that do work beautifully together, the original song 'I Want To See You' - take away all that plastic surgery! - written by Cumming and Lance Horne, and Horne's satirical tune about what it means to be 'American'. Cumming with a G, not Cummings with an S - is as precious as ever. I overheard someone say 'I just want to take him home with me!' I can just imagine how his deliciously quick-witted brain would react to that comment! He's one unique individual that makes a show forever fascinating, always gutsy and real and totally entertaining!
