Kate Dawson To Bring Her Hit Show To The Duplex

Songstress and performer Kate Dawson (who starred in A Christmas Carol at MSG for three seasons, and starred opposite Lucie Arnaz as Eileen in Wonderful Town in Los Angeles) is bringing her hit one-woman show THE A**HOLE IN MY HEAD to The Duplex for three Sunday nights, 1/16, 1/23, & 1/30, at 7PM this January. THE A**HOLE IN MY HEAD enjoyed a sold out show at Birdland Jazz Club last year and a sold out run in 2009 at The Triad Theatre, and The Duplex will provide a more intimate setting for Dawson’s comedic and entertaining musical exploration of that annoying inner voice we all combat on a daily basis.

The Duplex run marks the official release of the CD recording of THE A**HOLE IN MY HEAD, which will be available for purchase at all of the Duplex performances (priced at $15). The recording was funded through RocketHub, a popular and innovative online crowdfunding site (for more information visit www.RocketHub.com).

Directed by veteran actor Don Amendolia (33 Variations, Stepping Out, and My One And Only on Broadway, National Tour of Wicked as The Wizard), THE A**HOLE IN MY HEAD is Kate Dawson's fresh and funny reinvention of cabaret as she transforms her worst enemy (herself) into a hilarious, unseen (but heard) other character. Featuring songs from a variety of musicals including City of Angels, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Light in the Piazza, Thoroughly Modern Millie and Wicked, in the show Kate and that “A**hole” in her head battle it out through song and witty banter. Don't miss the show that David Noh of the Gay City News called “One of the TOP TEN best live performances of 2009!” and as Andrew Martin from The Nightlife Exchange wrote, “There is no excuse possible for not catching the glory that is Kate Dawson and this show.”

THE A**HOLE IN MY HEAD will also feature Lauren Cohn (The recent film Morning Glory, TV’s Royal Pains and Suite Life of Zack & Cody) as “The A**hole,” and musical direction by Broadway musical director Doug Oberhamer (Swing! on Broadway).
