Tilles Center for the Performing Arts at LIU Post is excited to present the acclaimed international comedy Broadway sensation Celebrity Autobiography for one night only with an all-star cast including Long Islands’s own, Susan Lucci and Ralph Macchio (starring now in the Number One Netflix hit series, Cobra Kai), plus Mario Cantone (Sex and the City, And Just Like That), Tate Donovan (The OC, Damages) Caroline Aaron (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Alan Zweibel (SNL comedy legend), Julia Macchio (star of Flashdance the Musical) and show creators Emmy nominee Eugene Pack and Dayle Reyfel.
The show features stars acting out unintentionally hilarious passages from other stars’ memoirs.
Celebrity Autobiography will take place in the Krasnoff Theater on Saturday, September 17 @ 7pm. Tickets are $75.
“It’s a great way to start off our season with a show that will make us all laugh!” shared Tilles Center Executive Director Tom Dunn. “I’ve been a fan of Celebrity Autobiography for years and could not be more excited to host this fantastic show with performers that are hilarious in their own right, and also have special ties to Long Island. And I, for one, am very much looking forward to hearing why Justin Bieber got stuck in the trunk of a car.”
Called the “funniest show in town, hands down!” by The New York Post and Critics’ Picks – The New York Times, Celebrity Autobiography has been critically acclaimed around the world from the United States to London’s West End, Edinburgh, Australia’s Sydney Opera House and an engagement on Broadway. The show originally opened in New York to rave reviews and won the Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience.
How does Vanna flip her panels? What does Stallone store in his freezer? Why did Justin Bieber get stuck in the trunk of a car? What does Hasselhoff reveal about the beauties of Baywatch? The passages run the gamut from the “poetry” of Suzanne Somers to tips from the Kardashians to the most famous Hollywood love triangle in history – Elizabeth Taylor, Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, told from all sides. What is remarkable and hilarious is that everything on stage is performed “in their own words.”
