FEINSTEIN’S/54 BELOW, Broadway’s Supper Club, presents Almog Pail in “Me, Myself and Rita” on April 20th, 2107. Join actor, writer and singer Almog Pail in an unconventional musical storytelling by 1940’s Hollywood’s pin-up Rita Hayworth, inspired by true events. In “Me, Myself and Rita”, Rita Hayworth (interpreted by Almog), is taking the audience on a journey full of musical nostalgia, dance and magic. Characters from her past come to life … dance partner Fred Astaire, scandalous lover Orson Welles, and more. Almog will interpret songs from Rita’s most highly rated films, such as Put The Blame on Mame (“Gilda”), Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered (“Pal Joey”) and Please Don’t Kiss Me (“The Lady from Shanghai”).
