"Room Service"
Serves Up New Block of Tickets
Thru March 25th!
at Off-Broadway's SoHo Playhouse
The critically acclaimed comedy Room Service will serve up a
double- month portion of new tickets thru March 25th for their extended
engagement at Off-Broadway's SoHo Playhouse
(15 Vandam
Street ~ between 6th Avenue and Varick).
Presented by the Soho Playhouse & the award-winning Peccadillo Theater Company along with
Jonathan Reinis Productions, Jeffrey Sine
and
The StoryLine Project, Room
Service features al cast of twelve in what
many consider the funniest American play of the 1930’s. Dan Wackerman
directs.
A
classic screw-ball comedy, Room Service centers around the efforts
of an unscrupulous producer to find a backer for his new show. Holed up in
a Times Square hotel with nineteen hungry actors and a ballooning room
service bill, he tries to forestall eviction by convincing the show’s
gullible young playwright to fake his own death. Meanwhile, an emissary
from one of the country’s wealthiest businessmen turns up with money to
invest in the show; that is, until he discovers the hotel doctor bound and
gagged in the bathroom. The situation goes from bad to worse as the
much-abused hotel manager threatens to have the entire show confiscated by
the sheriff on opening night!
Cast as the wily producer is David Edwards, fresh from the national
tour of The Producers. Fred Berman, Dale Carman, Sterling Coyne,
Scott Evans, Blythe Gruda, Robert O’Gorman and Kim Rachelle Harris
are also featured in the company. Scenic design is by Chris Jones,
costume design by Gail Cooper-Hecht and lighting design by
Jeffrey E. Salzberg.
First produced on the Broadway stage in 1937 and directed by George
Abbott, the original cast of Room
Service included Sam Levene, Eddie Albert and Betty Field. In
1938, it was made into a movie starring the Marx Brothers and in 1944,
into a musical film entitled Step
Lively starring Frank Sinatra.
Room Service was last seen in
New York twenty
years ago when the Roundabout Theater Company produced a revival starring
Mark Hamill.
Room Service
will play the following schedule: Wednesdays through Fridays at 8PM;
Saturdays at 3 & 8PM; Sundays at 3 & 7PM; Mondays at 8PM. All tickets are
$65 with a limited number of “Cheap Seats” at $29.99.
