Every day is opening night.

Leslie Jordan

 

This week we put one of America's most outrageous and fearless entertainers on the couch, and the couch may never be the same again!  Leslie Jordan has been delighting film and television audiences for years (perhaps most memorably in his Emmy-winning turn as the ever-popular character Beverley Leslie on “Will & Grace”).  Now he's bringing his life story – from small-town USA to the pink carpet of Hollywood – to the New York stage with his dishy, hilarious and acclaimed tell-all solo show, My Trip Down The Pink Carpet, directed by David Galligan.

My Trip Down The Pink Carpet begins performances at the Midtown Theater (163 West 46th Street) on Wednesday, April 14 for a 12-week limited engagement.  For tickets, visit  Theatermania.com or call (212) 352-3101.
