Italian Musical Extravaganza COOKING WITH THE CALAMARI SISTERS Comes to Philly Tonight, 9/27

By:

Direct from sold-out engagements and rave reviews across the country, the brassy, sassy Calamari Sisters will bring their hysterical all-singing, all-dancing, all-cooking hit musical COOKING WITH THE CALAMARI SISTERS to Philadelphia's Society Hill Playhouse, with previews beginning tonight, Sept. 27. The limited six-week engagement will continue through Nov. 4, with an official press opening scheduled for Friday, Oct. 12 at 8:00PM.

Tickets at $45 are on sale now, and may be purchased at www.comcasttix.com or at the Society Hill Playhouse box office (215-923-0210), 507 South Eighth Street, Philadelphia. Group tickets can be purchased by calling 215-923-0211.

Performances include: Wednesday (beginning Oct. 17) and Thursday evenings at 7:00 pm; Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:00 pm; Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2:00 pm. There will be no Saturday matinee on Oct. 6. For further ticket and show information visit:  www.societyhillplayhouse.org.

Starring the zany and incredible Delphine and Carmela Calamari, hilarity ensues when the wide-waisted siblings, the darlings of Brooklyn's cable access TV  station, WFAT, tape the final broadcast of their popular cooking show "Mangia Italiano."  Audiences join in the fun onstage, while the sisters sing and dance to favorite Italian tunes such as "Que Sera Sera," "Volare," "That's Amore," "Come-On-A-My-House," and "Mambo Italiano."

Produced by New York based Squid Ink Productions, COOKING WITH THE CALAMARI SISTERS was conceived and created by Jay Falzone, Dan Lavender and Stephen Smith. The trio have also produced and created two other "Calamari Sisters" episodes including "Christmas With The Calamari Sisters," and "The Calamari Sisters' Big, Fat Italian Wedding."  For further information, visit www.thecalamarisisters.com.
