Gasteyer and Fleisher will take to the intimate cabaret, located within the Public Theater, on May 22 at 9:30 PM. Their show, according to press notes, will feature "selections from basically every corner of the cannon. These two randy rapscallions promise 70 minutes of music, mayhem and frosty mojitos. Standard, contemporary, original and more: no tune is off limits, no era out-of-bounds and no rehearsal held on time."
Best known for her work on "Saturday Night Live," Ana Gasteyer has appeared on Broadway in The Rocky Horror Show and Off-Broadway in The Vagina Monologues and Kimberly Akimbo. She also played Fanny Brice in the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera's production of Funny Girl and was seen in the New York City Opera mounting of Cinderella. Her screen credits include “Reefer Madness,” "Mean Girls," "What Women Want," "Woman on Top," "Dick" and "What's the Worst That Could Happen?" Gasteyer was recently seen as Elphaba in Chicago’s Wicked and she is now part of the Roundabout’s revival of The Threepenny Opera.
Jazz singer Julian Fleisher composed the music to the current Off-Broadway play Almost, Maine. He also produced Kiki & Herb’s Carnegie Hall CD. Fleisher’s solo recording, “Rather Big,” is available on Modern Records.
