WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Marissa Kamin's The Fabulous Life of a Size Zero follows a girl in her senior year of high school as she attempts to achieve the ultimate: effortless perfection. Feeling the pressure of the forces around her, she shrinks to a size zero and descends into a filthy/gorgeous world of booze, beauty and boyfriends all while attempting to get into the Ivy League school of her choice. The tabloids, headlines and blogs of today explode onstage with humor, wit and brutal honesty as Size Zero proposes, "How can a girl find herself if she is lost being someone else?"
Ben Rimalower directs a cast that includes Anna Chlumsky, Gillian Jacobs, Kate Reinders, Christopher Sloan, and Brian J. Smith. Featured live on stage will be HX's 2005 & 2006 DJ of the Year, DJ Brenda Black spinning the soundtrack nightly.

Even though Paris Hilton is in prison, Lindsay Lohan is in rehab, and Britney Spears is trying to straighten out her bad self, the sorry behavior examples they represent may not be deterring young wannabes from making the same dire mistakes. So there's probably a continuing need for the cautionary tale that Marissa Kamin calls -- with irony dripping thickly from it -- The Fabulous Life of a Size Zero, now at the DR2. Indeed, Kamin's revue-with-storyline not only boasts some pointedly amusing topical writing; it is so topical that it runs the risk of seeming outdated as early as next week.
This admonitory play for aspiring party girls owes a debt to both David Mamet's Edmond and to Julian [...]
