Come celebrate the 40th Anniversary of
this ground-breaking musical that first brought rock'n'roll
to Broadway. With phenomenal musical numbers like “Aquarius”,
“Good Morning, Starshine”, and “What a Piece of Work Is Man”,
Hair represents the voice of many generations and
the ideals that will continue to shape our nation for decades
to come. The show is about exuberant dreamers who believe
they can change themselves and change the world, a generation

In this comic melodrama, Angela Andrews is trapped in
a hateful marriage. Desperate to find happiness with her younger
lover, Angela murders her husband with the aid of a poisoned
suppository. In a plot that reflects Greek tragedy as well
as Hollywood kitsch, Angela's children are convinced that
they must avenge their father's death by killing their mother.
A surprising twist ending has all of the Sussman family's
dirty laundry aired out for once and for all.
Featuring Coy Covington in the role Charles
Busch created for himself.

a stage adaptation of Jacqueline Susann's novel
August 17 – September 9 , 2007
Directed by - Doug Miller and Bob Hess
You’ve got to climb Mt. Everest to reach the Valley
of the Dolls.
So begins Jacqueline Susann’s cult classic, which burst
onto the literary scene of the 1960’s and subsequently
took America by storm.
Meet Neely, who goes from spunky, talented new kid on Broadway
to pill-popping bitch on wheels. And then there’s Jennifer.
Pretty, but aware of her complete and utter lack of talent,
she starts out as a showgirl and ends up doing the only thing
she's good at, taking off her clothes off in smut films. And
finally Anne, who leaves the snowbound protection of chaste
New England for Sodom on the Hudson -- New York City -- where
she is bound to find her doom. In no time, she is painting
the town red with a debonair agent and is discovered as the
newest supermodel for an international cosmetics magnate.
Doomed, I tell you. They’re all doomed.
Uptown Players is proud to present this world premier adaptation
of the #1 best-selling novel of all time.

. If your parents knew everything about you before you were
born, would you be here? That is the question posed in this
topical drama. All is well when Suzanne Gold and her close
New York family discover that she is pregnant, until a prenatal
test reveals that the baby will most likely be homosexual.
The news forces the entire Gold family to confront issues
of bigotry, evolution and the limits of love. Critically acclaimed
Off-Broadway, Twilight of the Golds is a powerful
human drama with plenty of humor and warmth
