Lynda Rodolitz, the 2018 winner of Mama's next BIG Act, will present her new show 'Animal Magnetism' at Don't Tell Mama on February 10, 13, 24 and 27. When she grew frustrated with the dating advice she was getting from her human friends, Lynda turned to the animal kingdom to see what could be learned from them about lasting happy relationships. There'll be fascinating facts, great songs and lots of laughs along the way.
'Songs You Don't Know...' had an outstanding opening performance Saturday, November 10, at Don't Tell Mama. 'The response was so welcome, after working alone with the band for so long. Hearing the laughs for that Johnny Mercer song with five verses was definitely a relief' said writer and actor Mischa Kischkum (Comedy Central Television; NBC; Cannes Festival).
Harvested from years of research, transcriptions, and arrangements, there's a new one-act review opening this Fall, featuring six actor-musicians. 'Songs You Don't Know By Writers You Love' is fashioned of hidden gems by popular writers like Carole King, Elton John, and Johnny Mercer.
Amy Wolk and Nikki M. James present I Only Have Lies For You, a live gameshow that pits Broadway panelists against each other in a lying contest, now in its second hit season! Two teams of three will go head-to-head telling stories, some of which may not be true---it is up to the other team to guess, Truth or Lie. Featuring musical direction by Steven Ray Watkins, panelists will defend their stories by all means possible, including song and dance. Hosted by MAC Award winner Amy Wolk, I Only Have Lies For You is presented monthly at the Laurie Beechman Theatre in New York City, and is being recorded as a podcast, which can be found on iTunes.
