Theater: Theatre for the New City / 155 First Avenue, New York, NY, 10003
If you can remember that there ever was a Jack Paar or Milton Berle, you'll plotz for "Dollface," a raunchy, witty musical comedy for the holiday season, conceived and written by B.J. Sebring, with lyrics by David Forman, music by David Forman & Rob Hyman with additional material by Bette Midler, Rick Chertoff, Eric Bazilian and Lou Bellofatto. The naughty Christmas tuner was introduced as a workshop in Theater for the New City's Dream Up Festival this past summer. TNC is now presenting its premiere run December 23 to January 16 in its Johnson Theater.
December 28, 2010: There may be no more bizarre holiday show in town than “Dollface,” a demented new musical having its premiere at Theater for the New City. While the year is 1956, and the show is set during Christmastime in suburban Queens, the anything-goes plotting and blithely artless performances made me think of early John Waters Baltimore instead.
