'The adventures of a sweet courtesan searching for courtly love in Thames Square.'

Monday night was the third performance of a four-show Don't Tell Mama run of Watts' new show Shameless (the next one is on 10/19), directed by Richard Sabellico, who hired Watts for his first theater role after seeing him perform in cabaret. How, I wondered, would Lennie Watts follow his ballsy, 2013 MAC award-winning show, Bloody Bloody Lennie Watts!? Apparently by offering another rambunctious, personal evening, this one straddling the worlds of cabaret and theater. Self-described as "the most shameless, self aggrandizing show cabaret has ever seen" (a moot point) and "an extended audition" (not moot), the piece is custom tailored and beautifully put together, but ultimately achieves mixed results. 

The city of Pittsburgh is obviously very proud of its local boy turned Broadway star.

'The story of a small town boy searching for a new life and love in the bright lanterns of 1580s London.'

Each clever creation bears a striking resemblance to a more contemporary Broadway hit.

The Tony-nominated star tells of an on-stage prank pulled on him at his final performance in the Broadway revival of CAROUSEL.
