WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Don't Quit Your Night Job is Broadway's new after hours revue. Conceived by Dan Lipton (The Coast of Utopia), Steve Rosen (Spamalot), David Rossmer (Nerds), and Sarah Saltzberg (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee), Don't Quit Your Night Job is a late night happening of music, comedy and improvisation.

The show features a rotating core cast of Broadway's brightest new stars from every show on the block, complete with surprise celebrity guests nightly, and comes to Broadway (or, near Broadway), after a wild sold-out engagement at Joe's Pub downtown.

The core company of 29 -- four of whom will perform each night alongside Lipton, Rosen, Rossmer, and Saltzberg -- includes Jill Abramovitz (Fame Becomes Me), Eric B. Anthony (Mary Poppins), Todd Buonopane (25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee), Tim Cain (Godspell), Matt Cavenaugh (Grey Gardens), Will Chase (High Fidelity), Jennifer Cody (Pajama Game), Jenn Colella (High Fidelity), John Ellison Conlee (The Full Monty), Tara Copeland (Chicago City Limits), Deborah S. Craig (25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee), Will Erat (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels), Josh Gad (25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee), Jordan Gelber (Avenue Q), Jared Gertner (25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee), Jerzy Gwiazdowski (The Lieutenant of Inishmore), Jeff Hiller (The Awesome 80's Prom), Lisa Jolley (Hairspray), Jason Kravitz (The Drowsy Chaperone), Stacie Morgain Lewis (Wicked), Vasthy Mompoint (Mary Poppins), Nancy Opel (Urinetown), Charlie Pollack (Urinetown), Greg Reuter (Monty Python's Spamalot), Sandy Rustin (I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change), Amy Rutberg (Our Leading Lady), Clarke Thorell (Hairspray), Donna Vivino (Hairspray), and Noah Weisberg (Legally Blonde).

Special celebrity guests set to appear in the premiere weeks include Hank Azaria, Kristin Chenoweth, Brian d'Arcy James, Paige Davis, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Dan Fogler, Hunter Foster, Kat Foster, Sutton Foster, Heather Goldenhersh, Marvin Hamlisch, Jane Krakowski, Marc Kudisch, Huey Lewis, Andrea Martin, Andrea McArdle, John McDaniel, Eric Millegan, Bebe Neuwirth, Kelli O'Hara, Lonny Price, Anthony Rapp, Michael Riedel, Tony Roberts, Seth Rudetsky, Peter Scolari, Marian Seldes, Christopher Sieber, Mary Testa, Alan Tudyk, Patrick Wilson, B.D. Wong, and Adrian Zmed, among many others.

WHAT ARE CRITICS SAYING?

One of the appeals of Don't Quit Your Night Job, the comedy-improvisation show that has moved from a monthly slot at Joe's Pub to a nightly one at HA! Comedy Club, is that it differs enough from night to night to make repeat visits potentially worthwhile.

Whether you'd want to return more than once seems less a function of the material -- a decidedly hit-or-miss series of sketches -- and more a question of which of the four out of nearly 30 rotating cast members and guest stars will join co-creators and permanent cast members Steve Rosen, Sarah Saltzberg, and David Rossmer (and musical director Dan Lipton) on stage.

For example, I'd be thrilled to see what else the deft comedienne Sandy [...]
