LEOLA'S LADY LAND LOUNGE! Welcomes NYC's Talent For A Chat And Chew And A Song Or Two At The Green Room 42
Heigh-Ho Friends & "Family"! Bobby Patrick your RAINBOW Reviewer here. Putting the silent T in CABARET to bring you all the T.
So my lambkins, Bobby took himself down to that darling bistro cabaret The Green Room 42 to catch another act from their resident septuagenarian redneck lesbian and our fellow rainbow aficionado, Leola Ladyland in her once a month talk show program; LEOLA'S LADY LAND LOUNGE! Departing from her usual format of stand-up/monolog comedy, LLLL brings in guests from our city's theatre and cabaret scene to talk, perform, tell stories, and in general, play "straight people" to La Leola's comic, backwoods, observations about their lives in the show business. This being the 4th installment inside the Lady Land Lounge there is plenty of background about how it all works here on our BWW landscape, but if you're new around here, just click this link and read my lovely boss, Stephen Mosher's latest coverage of LLLL. AND speaking of Stephen Mosher, my illustrious BWW leader just happened to be one of Leola's talkshow guests on the night... but more on that later. To borrow a quote from said boss, La Mosher, "Leola's Lady Land Lounge is a good old-fashioned chat show... with an opening monologue, a musical guest or two ... and a spotlight guest that veers out of the performing arts. There is also audience participation, gags, video reels, and games. But mostly there is laughter." For this edition, the Two-Time winner of the Broadway World Cabaret Audience Award for Best Spoken Word Show had as her guests, Analise Scarpaci - one of Broadway's foremost precocious stage brats who is leaving childhood behind and blossoming into a fine adult actress, Lindsay Nicole Chambers - late of Legally Blonde, Lysistrata Jones and pretty much all the L shows of Broadway, My adorable boss, Stephen Mosher and Leola's boss - TGR42's Jack & Jill Of all trades, Michael Kushner.
