Ethel Merman's List

Or: 10 Things About My Show

1. Next one is tomorrow!

2. Last one is next Thursday, January 17th!

3. They're both at 7:30 at Don't Tell Mama and the cost is $15 cover plus 2 drink minimum.

4. I'll be singing, you don't want to miss that.

5. I've written some funny jokes, if I do say so myself.

6. There's still room at both shows but not much so reservations are recommended. You can make them online or call (212) 757-0788 after 4pm.

7. I would be so psyched if even one of these performances sold out. I won't be sad if they don't and it's already clear that both houses will have goodly-sized audiences but how much fun would that be? A lot of fun, that's how much.

8. Both of my parents will be in attendance at tomorrow night's show (transportation authorities willing) so if you've ever wanted to meet those guys now's your chance!

9. Yes, it's the same show as the one I did on the 16th. I'm telling the story of my love affair with New York City using anecdotes from my life and songs by a whole host of other people (for instance October Project)  and I worked hard to write an engaging, fun, coherent narrative so it'll be the same show for all three performances.

10. But it's live theatre so, you know, no two shows are ever the same.

OK, I have to scoot off to a rehearsal with my awesome accompanist, Daryl Kojak. Hope to see you at the club!
