Douglas Carter Beane<\/a> (The Nance)’s tribute to early 20th century writer, poet, and humorist Dorothy Parker<\/a>, Finding Dorothy Parker, will return to the Laurie Beechman Theatre in NYC for a third run February 5-6. Beane directs and has compiled the text of the work, all Parker’s own words.<\/p>\n

The upcoming performances will be the final chance to see the work’s original stars\u2014Broadway favorites Julie Halston<\/a> (Tootsie), Ann Harada<\/a> (Avenue Q), Jackie Hoffman<\/a> (The Addams Family), and Anika Larsen<\/a> (Beautiful)\u2014reading the legendary wit’s writing. All four previously starred in the play when it premiered last September and returned earlier this month, a run that was completely sold out.<\/p>\n

The performances will also feature music by Alistair Wroe (Prince Faggot), choreography by Jeffrey Guggliotti, and music direction by Brad Simmons.<\/p>\n

Perhaps most infamous for her pithy wisecracks, Parker was one of the most prominent writers of the ’20s through to the mid-century, writing for such outlets as The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Vogue, Life, and The Saturday Evening Post, along with publishing compendiums of short stories, poems, and reviews.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have always wanted to do an evening of Dorothy Parker with four of Broadway\u2019s funniest ladies in the style of Don Juan in Hell,\u201d said Beane in an earlier statement. \u201cWell we\u2019re not in Hell now. We\u2019re in Hell’s Kitchen. So hello, Vagina Monologues and Love, Loss and What I Wore… Come meet your sassy sister!\u201d<\/p>\n
