What the World Needs Now: Jacob Sterling at Joe's Pub
Featuring David Pittu

Show Description

"For connoisseurs of atrocious musical theater — and/or whip-smart satire — the fictional Jacob Sterling is a godsend to be eternally grateful for."
-Isherwood, NY Times

Tony-nominated actor David Pittu--last seen in this summer's triumphant Twelfth Night at the Delacorte--will return as his alter ego Jacob Sterling, the "living, American musical theater composer working in an age of terror" from last season's acclaimed What's That Smell: The Music of Jacob Sterling, for three nights only in January at Joe's Pub.  The evening will coincide with the CD release of What's That Smell through Shk-A-Boom, and will feature many classic hits from Jacob Sterling musicals like Private Benjamin and Mademoiselle Death (based on La Femme Nikita), as well as a sneak peak of what Jacob is working on for the new year.  He will be joined by Peter Bartlett (as Jacob's pal and enthusiast Leonard Swagg) and others. 

Lyrics are by Mr Pittu and music is by Randy Redd.
