FEINSTEIN’S/54 BELOW, Broadway’s Supper Club, presents SHIZ on February 15th 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’s finest and featuring actors from the casts of Wicked, Great Comet, Fun Home 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), Alex Song (The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon) and rising comedy star Natalie Walker (Twitter: @nwalks, Alice By Heart). In addition to the writers, the cast features Larkin Bogan (Wicked) Joél Pérez (Fun Home), Liana Hunt (Newsies), Kuhoo Verma (The Big Sick), Heath Saunders (Great Comet), Kim Blanck (Twelfth Night), Preston Martin, Nicole Weiss (The Imbible) and Fernando Contreras, with music direction by Myrna Conn (Pretty Woman). Assistant directed by Mahayla Laurence.
