Entitled The Kvetching Continues, the evening of comedy and song is now the longest-running show in Joe's Pub history. Hoffman will again play the intimate cabaret located within the Public Theater Sept. 13 and 27. Show time is 7:30 PM.
In her one-woman evening, the comedic actress skewers her Broadway debut and also offers a handful of original songs, including "Three Minutes on Broadway"; a reworking of Stephen Sondheim's "I'm Still Here," sung from the perspective of a spoiled child actress; a tribute to the Jewish holiday "Shavuot"; "Eurotrash," based on her recent let-down-of-a-trip to Italy; and "Gay Baby," a lament about the unavailability of her gay friends (and former playmates) who are now having children.
The Kvetching Continues is directed by Michael Schiralli with musical direction by Dave Brunetti.
Jackie Hoffman received a Theatre World Award for her work in Hairspray.
