BACK THEN NOBODY TALKED ABOUT SEX.
SO SHE MADE THEM LAUGH ABOUT IT.
This tour de force performance serves up the extraordinary life and music of vaudeville legend Sophie Tucker - a comedienne that super fan Bette Midler called “a true vulgarian, a completely charming big-hearted broad.”
Combining the pizazz of Tucker’s risqué songs with raucous audience interaction, writer-performer Laural Meade channels Tucker’s irreverent wit and sexed-up spirit. With charming side-kick Fred Cassidy at the keys. We deliver the singular energy that made Tucker the most sought-after nightclub entertainer of her day.
“WINNER – BEST CABARET OF THE YEAR. Arrestingly poignant and indelibly memorable…an incredible turn, a perfect evening.” - ticketholdersLA.com
“PICK OF THE MONTH! Meade lets loose her inner Sophie and charms… a powerful singer with a thriling voice.” - Cabaret Scenes Magazine
“RECOMMENDED! Meade, bedazzled and fabulous, brings Tucker back to life. Flirtatious and extravagant… and exquisitely intimate. Meade is soulful talent." - StageRaw.com
Actor’s Gang veterans Cynthia Ettinger and Mike Schlitt direct. Emmy-winning designer Daniel Selon advises the costumes. Up and coming theater impresario Haowen Luo co-produces. Lights and sound are by festival maven Matt Richter. At the Davidson/Valentini Theater at the Los Angeles LGBT Center.
