Koberet

July 11, 2012

Featuring a brand new Carner & Gregor song written for Andrew Kober. Performances for the New York Musical Theatre Festival at The 45th Street Theatre (Mainstage) (354 W. 45th Street). Click here to purchase tickets!

Monday, Jul 16th, 2012 at 7:00 pm  & at 10:30 pm

KOBERETOne time Tony-eligible actor Andrew Kober (Broadway’s Hair, TV’s Boardwalk Empire, Pan Am) brings his one-man show to the NYMF stage, after sold-out engagements at Joe’s Pub and LPR. Originally seen by 100 Ohioans in the auditorium of Shaker Heights High, this updated Koberet is an even more self-indulgent version of the phenomenon that took the Midwest by storm ten years ago. In it, Broadway’s most beloved and under-employed actor muses on coming out, going in, gaining weight and getting thin.
