Co-created by Bill Russell and Steve Saari, the production features Saari in the title role with Michael Mahany as his love interest. Stephen Yearick has designed the costumes for Mister Fabulous, which will play an encore engagement at the Beechman Oct. 15.

"In the mid-seventies," read Mister Fabulous press notes, "a flamboyant entertainer known as Mister Fabulous displays his incredible prowess at the keyboard and his flair for outrageous costumes at the Galaxy Showroom of the Stardust Casino in Vegas. Backstage, he meets Tom, a handsome young man who becomes part of the glamorous life of hob-knobbing with celebrities and over-the-top spending. But can Mister Fabulous ever publicly acknowledge their increasingly intimate relationship?"

Mister Fabulous was previously titled My Liberace and debuted in November 2005 at the Duplex Cabaret Theatre.

Bill Russell, who wrote the book and lyrics for Side Show, also penned the book and lyrics for Off-Broadway's Elegies for Angels, Punks and Raging Queens and Pageant. His other book/lyric credits include Lucky Duck, Kept, Fourtune, The Texas Chainsaw Musical and Family Style.
