Bradley Jones’ thought-provoking, poignant and comedic story of how an eager-to-please theatre queen survived a decade in a Broadway hit—and overcame envy, grandiosity and even murder to become a respected psychoanalytic clinician—is back! Dr. Bradley’s Fabulous Functional Narcissim: The Solo Show, plays again, now at Don’t Tell Mama, on Friday, June 15 at 8 PM. Jones is supported by The Freudians, led by Mike Pettry, the show’s music director, on piano, with Alden Banta on woodwinds, Jacob Silver on bass and Zack Eldridge on percussion.
Storytelling through the 1960s of his childhood, through the ‘70s and ‘80s of his Broadway years in A Chorus Line, Dr. Bradley mixes song, tap and quips out of school as he recounts how a precocious 6-year old theater queen became a glorified Broadway chorus boy and made it through the AIDS crisis and excessive drug use to land in his current role as a successful psychoanalytic clinician. Dr. Bradley also performs 15 years of intensive psychoanalysis in under 5 minutes with tap shoes! The set includes gems by Rodgers and Hart (Pal Joey), Sondheim (Passion), Bernstein (Candide); Ray Heindorf (A Star Is Born), Brian Yorkey (Next to Normal) and “Feelin’ Too Good Today Blues,” made famous by Peggy Lee.
