Chicago, IL – Hell in a Handbag Productions is proud to announce the addition of two performances to the JEFF RECOMMENDED, Chicago premiere of Die! Mommie, Die!, Charles Busch’s homage to thriller films of the 60’s starring “women of a certain age.” This production not only marks the Chicago premiere of Die! Mommie, Die! but also the Midwest premiere of the piece since it was rewritten for it’s Off Broadway run in 2007-2008.

 

Die! Mommie, Die!  tells the tale of Angela Arden; a washed-up singer trapped in a loveless marriage, with a daughter that despises her and a mentally unstable son until she finds happiness in the arms of Tony Parker, a very “gifted” gigolo. Or does she?

 

You won’t want to miss the Jeff recommend, critically acclaimed pairing of Hell in a Handbag Productions, “The Gold Standard of camp in Chicago (Chicago Reader)” and Charles Busch, who is considered by many to be the Grand Dame of camp.

 

Die, Mommie, Die features Ed Jones*, Merrie Greenfield*, Zack Geoffroy, Jeffrey Parker Olson, David Cerda* as Angela Arden and of course, the magnificent Veronica Sheaffer. The show is directed by Cheryl Snodgrass.

 

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED- Chicago Reader
