This world premiere musical comedy concert features Broadway performers in an utterly ridiculous and overtly queer musical parody written by American Theatre Wing’s Jonathan Larson Grant and MAC Award-winning Joel B. New (Tempting Mr. Lincoln; Undertaking Christmas). The cast of six, including six-time Broadway veteran Lydia Gaston (The King and I, Miss Saigon, Jerome Robbins’ Broadway, Shogun, The Red Shoes), Renee Claire Bergeron (Nat. Tour: Whistle Down the Wind), Tari Kelly (B’way: Mr. Saturday Night, Groundhog Day, Something Rotten!, Anything Goes, The Boy From Oz), Wendy Makkena (Film: Sister Act movies; B’way: Lend Me a Tenor, Pygmalion, Side Man), Charles Sanchez (Web Series: Merce!), and Jill Melanie Wirth (TV-Film: The Normal Heart – HBO).
After getting fired on her fiftieth birthday, a plucky milliner falls in love with a mysterious stranger and starts an underground fight club. But when it all inevitably spirals out of control, she must get even pluckier to put a stop to the mayhem and save the world before it’s too late. Starring some of the funniest leading ladies from Broadway and beyond, R.E.D. Hat Fight Club is the perfect gift this Mother’s Day: a knock-out musical parody celebrating the joys of aging and sisterhood!
R.E.D. Hat Fight Club is a love letter to all the amazing women in the world who’ve taught us it’s never too late to make lifelong friends, learn something about yourself, or be a fabulous queen. It’s the perfect Mother’s Day gift for moms, dads, and their adult kids; the LGBTQ+ community; cabaret, comedy, and new musical theatre enthusiasts; and the Rebellious Empowered Divas in all of us.
