The production, by Jonathan Reinis (two-time Tony Award winner for Dame Edna: The Royal Tour and Russell Simmon’s Def Poetry Jam) and Glynis Henderson (international producer of Stomp), will play nine performances only, running through Oct. 12.

Ennio: The Living Paper Cartoon is directed and designed by Ennio Marchetto and Sosthen Hennekam. The production features Marchetto revolutionizing the art of origami into a unique performance.

According to press notes, "With his hilarious physical comedy, a sizzling soundtrack and ingenious paper costumes Ennio magically and hysterically morphs into over 50 of our favorite personalities from Lady Gaga and Eminem to Fred Astaire and Mona Lisa."
