What's Next?

Even before Hell's Belles closed, people were asking me, "What's Next?"

On Oct. 13, I'm performing in a staged reading of the new pop musical, "How To Marry a Divorced Man." I play Glenda, the ex-wife of said Divorced Man, and she' a real hoot! A former punk rocker who gave it all up to be a mom, she runs a rock n roll boutique.

Musical Mondays Theatre Lab is producing the project with Tweiss Productions, and it's the first show in their season.


The stellar cast includes Christine Marie Heath (top right), who played Evita in the North American and International tour; Richard Binder (bottom left), who's played my husband in various shows including Vienna (we were Dr. and Mrs. Freud) and the opera La Ribalta; Babs Winn, whom I got to croon with in a quirky country western episode of  "The Onion"; and Michael Kirk Lane, whom I worked with in last year's table-read of the show.

Based on the novel by Leslie Fram, adapted by Bryan D. Leys and composed by Clare Cooper (Toxic Avenger), it's a charming piece with some great pop-rock tunes.

The staged reading will be on Oct. 13 at 6:30 PM at the Jerry Orbach Theatre in the Snapple Center (across from Wicked): 210 West 50th
 

Tickets are $18. For reservations, call 212 989-6706 or email musicalmondays@aol.com.
