Lisa Lampanelli's Stuffed will return to Off-Broadway

Producer Rachel Karpf has announced that the debut play by two-time Grammy-nominated comedian Lisa Lampanelli - Stuffed - which previously played a limited off-Broadway engagement at the McGinn/Cazale Theatre from September 23 to November 6, 2016, will return to NYC this fall.

Once again starring Ms. Lampanelli and directed by Jackson Gay, this new version of Stuffed will begin performances at the Westside Theatre on October 6, 2017.

Synopsis: "The four characters in Stuffed are a lifelong dieter, a bulimic, a confident overweight gal, and a permanent size-zero. The play explores the crazy-making world of our relationships with food and it doesn't shy away from tough questions like: Is eating an ice cream sandwich in the shower as emotionally fulfilling as it sounds? When it comes to jeans, what's better -- muffin top or camel toe? And, if Oprah, the most powerful person in the world, can't conquer her food issues, what can the rest of us do but laugh as we try?"

The comedy also features additional material by Ashley Austin Morris.

Lampanelli released the following statement:

""I can't wait to get this play back in front of audiences. I learned so much from our first New York production and I couldn't wait to jump back into the script and continue working on it. Now, of course, there's no shortage of jokes in Stuffed, but it's also a real play featuring women talking about a subject that's close to my heart - our relationships with food, weight, and body image. I'm so glad to have the opportunity to do a new, improved version of the show in order to keep the dialogue going about one of the most common issues people struggle with, while still keeping the laughs flowing."

Additional casting and creative team information will be released at a later date.
