Ryan O’Connor and Friends present Eat. Pray. Vote. on Monday, March 9 at 9:30 PM at the Green Room 42. In 2016, a newly sober, divorced and thinner O’Connor uprooted his life to work for the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign in Pontiac, Michigan. Eat. Pray. Vote. is the devastating, but hilarious story of his journey from sadly singing Stevie Nicks songs at Elizabeth Taylor’s grave (true story) to Pontiac, Michigan in an effort to elect the first female President of the United States, and the women he met at this time. The show features the music of Stevie Nicks, Annie Lennox, Ani DiFranco, Kate Bush and Stephen Sondheim; and performances by Sam Given and Shaleah Adkisson-Toro. Special guests include MJ Rodriguez, Natalie Joy Johnson and Matt Magnusson. Brian Nash serves as music director.
Ryan O’Connor is a self-described bon vivant, working successfully in various mediums in entertainment without ever really committing to any one particular vocation. Recent credits include the world premiere of Home Street Home: the Fat Mike/Jeff Marx/Soma Snakeoil Musical and the LA production of Bradley Bredeweg’s Scissorhands: The Musical. He can be seen in the most recent season of “I’m Sorry” on Netflix and as a panelist on the upcoming LGBTQ talk show, “Table of 5.” He was also recently seen in the Avenue Q scenes on the HBO series “Big Little Lies,” “Celebrity Family Feud,” “How I Met Your Mother,” and many years ago as Richard Linklater’s “favorite part” of the film, School of Rock.
Ryan O’Connor and Friends in Eat. Pray. Vote. will perform at The Green Room 42 (570 Tenth Avenue at 42nd Street, on the 4th Floor of Yotel) on Monday, March 9 at 9:30 PM. The cover charge ranges from $20-$60. There is no food and drink minimum. For tickets, please visit www.TheGreenRoom42.com.
