FEINSTEIN’S/54 BELOW, Broadway’s Supper Club, presents SHIZ on Friday September 14th at 11:30 PM. Your favorite musical theater characters find themselves smack in the middle of sketches in this Broadway-meets-comedy mash-up show, written by UCB and The PIT’s finest and featuring actors from the casts of Fun Home, Great Comet, Newsies and more. Imagine if the Tonys were hijacked by SNL. SHIZ gives classic moments from musicals an irreverent mind of their own. Watch Elphaba and Javert get thrown unexpected curveballs and belt their way out. SHIZ is a love letter to Broadway with a few notes scribbled in the margins. No parody lyrics, only parody riffs.
SHIZ is conceived by comedian Matt Gehring (Set It Up, The Tick) and songwriter/performer Shaina Taub (Old Hats, Great Comet, Twelfth NIght at Shakespeare in the Park) and written by Gehring, Max Ash (UCB Maude Night writer) and rising comedy star Natalie Walker (Search Party). In addition to the writers, the cast features Joél Pérez (Fun Home), Liana Hunt (Newsies), Kuhoo Verma (The Big Sick), Roe Hartrampf, Nicole Weiss and Fernando Contreras, with music direction by Myrna Conn (Pretty Woman).
This edition of SHIZ will also feature special guests Andrew Kober (School of Rock, Hair) and Stephanie Hsu (Spongebob, Be More Chill).
