“Wife” Begins Limited Engagement at La Mirada Theatre
First Show of McCoy Rigby 2010-2011 SEASON! Starring Marilu Henner & Caroline Aaron, Written by Charles Busch, Directed by Jeff Maynard.
La Mirada~La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts& McCoy Rigby Entertainment are thrilled to present Marilu Henner, who will be reprising her critically-acclaimed Broadway performance as Lee Green and Caroline Aaron will star as Marjorie Taub in a newly-revised version of Charles Busch's hilarious Broadway hit, The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife, directed by Jeff Maynard (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee); opening this Friday, October 1st and running through Sunday, October 17 at La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts.
Award-winning hit at the Manhattan Theatre Club and on Broadway, the story concerns the wife of a philanthropic allergist, who is engulfed in a life crisis of Medea like proportions. Her children are grown, her beloved therapist died recently and her mother grates on her nerves. She tries to lose herself in a world of art galleries, foreign films and avant-garde theatre, but finds she is barely able to rouse herself from her sofa. Marjorie’s spirits suddenly soar when Lee Green played by Henner (reprising her acclaimed Broadway performance), a fascinating and somewhat mysterious friend from her childhood, appears on her doorstep.
