Richfield and Mean Girls

You wanna hear about sex and the city?  Renée Taylor’s new play Dying Is No Excuse recounts her epic love story with Joe Bologna.  She’s been working on this for a while, and there have been several readings in NYC and FL (know your audience, I always say).  It just had its world premiere at the Unicorn Theatre Company in the Berkshires under the direction of Elaine May!  But don’t try to go – the entire run sold out in a matter of hours.  That didn’t stop Fran Drescher from flying in for opening night – not only to cheer on Renée Taylor, but also Nicholle Tom, who plays a young Renée Taylor (she also played Fran’s stepdaughter on The Nanny).  Fun fact – while I know Renée, Fran, and Nicholle, one of them was the last woman I made out with.  I don’t want to give you too many clues.  But it was in the driveway after a holiday party.  I swear there was something in that eggnog.

Last weekend, I zipped back down to Provincetown to the legendary Post Office Café and Cabaret to check out two of the most popular shows in town.  First is Miss Richfield 1981, who is celebrating 23 years in Ptown with her latest venture, There’s A Pill For That.  I dunno what pills she’s taking, but she looks terrific.  With nary a blue dress in sight, she’s singing and dancing and entertaining the capacity crowds.  She hasn’t lost any of her luster or spice.  In fact, this new show has a strong theme, catchy ditties, and naughty off-the-cuff barbs.  Make your plans early – she regularly sells out.  And after Labor Day, she tours.  Check out her full schedule on MissRichfield.com.

Also at the Post Office Cabaret is the latest creation from the talented Jamie Morris of Mommie Queerest fame (not the version with a body count).  This year, he does what the kids call a mash-up.  He cleverly combines The Golden Girls with Mean Girls to bring us Golden Mean Girls.  This is Jamie’s 8th season in Ptown, and this show may be his best.  He’s brilliant as Blanche, although Sophia’s breasts (as embodied by Payton St. James) come close to stealing the show.  For those interested in a twink who has probably never eaten a Twinkie, then Zachary McEvoy is for you (he also works at Joe Coffee).  It plays Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays at 10PM – which still leaves you plenty of time to go out and get lucky.  Tix to both can be purchased at PostOfficeCafe.net.

Speaking gals with great gams, our very own Alaska Thunderfuck is off the market.  The diva made the announcement on social media: “My longtime partner Matthew Herrmann proposed to me yesterday.  It was after my grandma’s 90th birthday celebration.”  Way to upstage Nana!
