What's My Line at the Barrow Street Theatre

van Straaten Entertainment, inc presents What�s My Line? � Live On Stage, a live, non-broadcast stage presentation of the popular game show that ran on American television for over 25 years, at the Barrow Street Theatre from 24 Mar - 28 Apr 2008.

The evening is hosted by J. Keith van Straaten and will feature a rotating lineup of panelists including Betsy Palmer (original panelist on 'What's My Line?' TV show), Aileen Mehle, Nick Kroll and Jarrod Emick among others. Weekly surprise celebrity 'Mystery Guests' will also appear.

'What�s My Line?' premiered on CBS on 2 Feb 1950 and became an instant classic, running for 25 years on American television. The stage version follows the basic format of the classic TV game show: Four celebrity panelists try to guess the occupation of a guest, asking only yes-or-no questions. The guests are all regular folks with unusual occupations --plus an appearance by a special celebrity mystery guest. This stage show, however, is not broadcast; the only audience is the folks who show up in the 199-seat theatre. It�s a real game with real people with real occupations and genuine celebrities.

Departing from the 30-minute format of the original television series, the 75-minute stage version will also feature live music and performances.

What�s My Line? � Live On Stage which had an initial run of six shows in November and December of 2004 in Los Angeles and ran over three years.
