Tail! Spin! extends limited engagement to 1 Feb 2015
The verbatim political comedy Tail! Spin!, which premiered at the New York Fringe Festival in 2012, and opened at off-Broadway's Lynn Redgrave Theater on 1 October 2014, following previews from 18 September 2014, has extended its limited engagement through to 1 February 2015. It was originally scheduled to run through to 30 November 2014.
Written by Mario Correa, the comedy is a verbatim re-enactment of the sex scandals that brought down former Congressman Anthony Weiner, former Governor / current Congressman Mark Sanford, former Congressman Mark Foley, and former Senator Larry Craig. The show uses nothing but the words spoken, emailed, tweeted, texted and told by the politicians themselves to create the comedy.
The cast of Tail! Spin! includes SNL's Rachel Dratch, Arnie Burton, Sean Dugan, Tom Galantich, and Nate Smith.
The production opened to excellent reviews at the Lynn Redgrave Theater.
Tail! Spin! is directed by Tony-nominee Dan Knechtges and features scenic and projection designs by Caite Hevner Kemp, costume design by Jen Caprio, lighting design by Ryan O'Gara, and sound design by John Emmett O'Brien. The production is produced by Billy Zavelson, Marianne Mills, Kristen Stein, Ben Feldman and Jeffrey Sosnick/Neal Rubinstein, in association with Clifford Lee Johnson III.
