Lisa
Faith Phillips at DILLONS in July
"7
1/2 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE MISTRESSES" returns to DILLON'S (245
West 54th Street, NYC - 212-307-9797 - http://www.dillonslounge.com/
- Tix: http://www.smarttix.com/
or call 212-868-4444) in July with shows on Thursdays, the 8th, 15th
and 22nd at 8:30 pm. Written and performed by Lisa Faith Phillips
the show features original music and musical direction by Ellen Mandel.
The show hilariously explores our quest for romance, love and security.
Using the format of a self-help lecture by Dr. Faith, Phillips takes
us through the entertaining habits, using witty original songs, comic
graphs and charts, maracas and a riding crop to punctuate her outrageously
funny observations. There is a $20 cover, 2-drink minimum. ($10 cover
for members of MAC or CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE.)
Drawing on
her colorful experiences, including working as a stripper to pay her
way through graduate school at the London School of Economics, and
her background in stand-up comedy and music, Lisa Faith Phillips weaves
humor and songs into a clever, thought-provoking and ultimately touching
show. Part comedy, part cabaret, part one-woman theater piece, it
all adds up to an evening of sophisticated, fun entertainment.
The performance
features original songs by Phillips and Mandel from the winning anthem
"How to Be a Bad Girl" to the hilarious "Help Me Dr. Faith" and "She
Can Not Get Enough" plus Ellen's touching ballad "Wasn't Such a Big
Affair" and her bring-down-the-house blues "Smile When You Say Good-bye".
Witty reinterpretations of American standards such as a sing-along
of "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" by Jule Styne and a clever
twist on Porter's "Everytime We Say Good-bye" top off the evening.
