PRIVATE EVENTS in PUBLIC PLACES At MAMA'S May Mondays

A new original show, PRIVATE EVENTS in PUBLIC PLACES" will open at DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 212-757-0788 - http://www.donttellmama.com/) on Monday, May 6th, with additional performances scheduled for the 13th & 20th. All shows are at 7:00 pm. There is a $20 cover charge, 2-drink minimum.

The show is written & directed by Jeff Matson, with Music by Brooks Cowan. Musical direction & arrangements are by David Maiocco, with additional vocal arrangements by the Ensemble. Annie Hughes, Rob Langeder, Carolyn Montgomery & Miles Phillips come together to form this extraordinary ensemble, consisting of four of the best singing actors in the business. Their varied backgrounds, years of performance experience and diverse singing styles should contribute to making PRIVATE EVENTS in PUBLIC PLACES an exciting evening of musical theatre exploring the privacy, passion, pain and joy of life in these challenging times.

PRIVATE EVENTS in PUBLIC PLACES features close harmonies, broad comedy, a bitter ballad, a soaring anthem and maybe some things you've never considered. The show weaves material from nearly two decades of collaboration between composer Brooks Cowan and writer Jeff Matson into a new theatrical revue. The vintage material has been given vivid new takes by this top-notch ensemble, and many numbers will be heard for the first time.

Matson & Cowan's other projects include the turn-of-the-century musical, "Queen of the Mist;" a Cabaret Musical, "The Cafe Floe;" an intimate, 4-character show called "Shoot! A Musical in 36 Exposures;" and they are currently working on several other original shows, including "The Weekend Waltz;" a corporate musical called "INC.;" a B-movie send-up, "The Revenge of the Colossal Woman;" and "Bar Noir."

Musical director & arranger David Maiocco is the 2000 Backstage Bistro Award and 2002 MAC Award winner for Best Musical Direction. He has worked with the MAC Award-winning Richard Skipper, James Beaman, Christine Pedi, Tommy Femia, Sidney Myer and Eric Pickering. He is currently developing a new show to be presented at DON'T TELL MAMA with Greg Rodeheffer.
