John Waters' muse -- star of Hairspray and Pink Flamingos -- returns with new holiday show.
Saturday, December 10 at The Cutting Room
Cult film icon Mink Stole (Hairspray, Pink Flamingos, Cry-Baby) premieres her newest holiday show "IT'S MERRY CHRISTMAS, DAMMIT!” in New York City on December 10 at The Cutting Room (44 East 32 Street between Lexington and Park -- accessible from the N,R,F,V & 6 trains at 23rd Street). Showtime is at 7 PM. Tickets are $25, with a $50 VIP option (including preferred seating and a backstage meet and greet); there is also a $20 food/drink minimum at all performances at this venue. For tickets, visit www.SpinCycleNYC.com or call 212-352-3101.
Holiday-speak political correctness be damned! Love it or dread it, Christmas is everyone's party! "IT'S MERRY CHRISTMAS, DAMMIT!” is an evening of stories and songs that illustrate Mink Stole's unique take on the greatest holiday ever. Mink will be accompanied by Her Wonderful Band: Glenn Workman on keyboard; Skizz Cyzyk on drums; and John "Scoop" Christensen on the upright bass. They also have a very…unique… version of The Twelve Days of Christmas that you won't want to miss.
Mink Stole is a household name for anyone familiar with the films of John Waters – she has appeared in every one of his features, and almost all of his movies. She began her film career in Waters’ 1966 short Roman Candles, but her appearances in films including Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, Cry-Baby, Serial Mom and Hairspray have undeniably made her an underground legend. Some of Mink’s recent non-Waters films include All About Evil, Stuck! and 3 films in the Eating Out series.
