About this Event

Hot off the Edinburgh Fringe festival, this is Liz's tour of the show before her Off-Broadway run at SoHo Playhouse!
This cheerful tornado includes a sermon from “Cheeky Greek Orthodox Priest,” an improvised scene starring one lucky audience member, and a video call full of fatherly wisdom from Dad.
Coin finds child-like whimsy in very adult themes with nods to old favorites from 'Chicago' to ‘RENT’ to ‘Wicked’ to ‘Glee’ to ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ and even Buster Keaton. The sun WILL come out tomorrow. The show is a hug for anyone who has ever loved an addict.
