'The Marvelous Wonderettes' Musical Returns Starring 'One Life To Live's Kathy Brier

Kathy Brier

The Marvelous Wonderettes are hitting the stage once again, and the brand new production will star Emmy Award nominee Kathy Brier of One Life to Live. Brier will star as Suzy Simpson, the sweet and naive songleader with a heart of gold and a fondness for bubblegum.

Known for her role as Marcie Walsh McBain on One Life to Live, and Sophie Tucker on HBO's Boardwalk Empire, Brier was a huge hit when she performed live at our "We Love Soaps Weekend" event a few years back.

Kathy made her Broadway debut in "Hairspray" as Tracy Turnblad (the lead role) and made her Off-Broadway debut in the rock musical cult hit Bat Boy The Musical.

"The Marvelous Wonderettes" begins previews Wednesday, March 23rd and opens Thursday, April 28th. The show will play Wednesdays at 2:30pm and 8:15pm, Thursdays at 8:15pm, and Sundays at 3 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at The Theatre Row box office or through Telecharge.com. The Kirk at Theatre Row is located at 410 W 42nd St, off of 9th Ave.

WE LOVE SOAPS TV 1.28 We Love Soaps Weekend

"We Love Soaps Weekend" at the Villa Roma Resort in Callicoon, New York, was held May 21-23. Ilene Kristen, Colleen Zenk Pinter, Robert Newman, Kathy Brier, Michael O'Leary, Bree Williamson, BethAnn Bonner and Evan Alex Cole performed. The talent presented on stage could play anywhere. It was top notch. Kathy Brier has a once in a lifetime voice. Colleen Zenk proved why she belongs on the cabaret stage and in musical theater. Bree and BethAnn brought the house to tears. Michael O'Leary was a huge hit with his stand-up comedy. Robert Newman showed his versatility and range. Evan Alex Cole shared his new "World Turns" single. And, of course, Ilene Kristen always rocks and her band was as tight as ever.

During Saturday's show, Kathy Brier previewed her role as Sophie Tucker in the new HBO series, BOARDWALK EMPIRE.

The video below shows a snippet of some of the performances from both Friday and Saturday nights.
