HAYDEE
TEE MOVES "MUFTEE" TO NYC IN JANUARY
Direct
from a sold-out seven-month run in Sydney, Australia, New Zealand's
Hatden Tee, winner of the New York Award at the 2002 Sydney Cabaret
Convention, brings his hit cult sensation, THE MUFTEE SHOW to MAMA
ROSE'S (219 Second Avenue, NYC - 212-533-0558 - http://www.mamaroses.net/)
for 4 performances only, January 4th, 5th, 11th and 13th at 9:00 pm.
Co-created, produced and directed by Les Solomon, "Muftee" stars Hayden
Tee, who is joined by Musical Director and co-host, Nigel Ubrihien
as they welcome a series of "special guests" each night. There is
a $15 cover charge plus a 2-drink minimum.
A wacky and
wild blend of topical comedy, music and chat, "Muftee" is a unique
mix: part "Tonight Show," part comedy spoof, and part cabaret show.
It includes such off-the-wall segments as "Tee-sers," a mini-game
show where the audience wins prizes of tea, "Tee-Mail," and "The Week
That Was," a dishy reportage of show business gossip. The word 'muftee'
is an old army reference that was used when soldiers were allowed
to step out of uniform into their own choice of clothing. The Muftee
Show is a real potpourri. It's all about stepping out of the normal
constraints of cabaret and taking it into a brand new direction.
