Well, you heard it here second, kids! Yesterday, the New York Times announced a triple threat – I mean TREAT– for New Yorkers this fall. The legendary Lypsinka, aka John Epperson, will be in not just one, not two, but THREE SHOWS in “Lypsinka! The Trilogy.” Kevin Malony is directing two revivals: “Lypsinka! The Boxed Set,” a revue featuring excerpts from films and musical recordings, and also “The Passion of the Crawford,” a recreation of an interview with Joan Crawford from 1973. Barry Kleinbort will direct the premiere of “John Epperson: Show Trash,” where John, as himself, will play piano and tell stories about growing up in Mississippi and his life as Lypsinka. The shows will run from November 5 through January 3, 2015. Opening night is set for Nov. 13 at the Connelly Theater in the East Village. Tickets aren’t on sale yet, but stay tuned for details.
James St. James posted a Wow number by Lippy just the other day and just to wet your whistle for her fabulousness, here’s a short film shot by Bob Frame some 20 years ago, that is as entertaining as hell. Watch.
