WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
A year and a half after premiering his one-man musical theatrical memoir Canned Ham at Dixon Place, Tom Judson returns to that same stage for an extended run of the new, expanded version of the show. Canned Ham is a theatrical memoir detailing Tom's life in all areas of show business: acting in Broadway musicals (Cabaret, 42nd Street) composing music for film and television (Whit Stillman's Metropolitan, Sesame Street) and the work for which he is probably most widely known, appearing in gay adult films as "Gus Mattox." Stories and songs are interwoven with visuals and musical numbers to describe a life that is extraordinary yet--because the story is bookended by the tale of his partner's death from AIDS--all too familiar to many. Tom accompanies himself on the piano, the accordion, the trumpet and nine other instruments - sometimes simultaneously.
NOTE: No one under 18 admitted. Canned Ham contains sexually explicit dialogue and imagery.

Tom Judson is probably best known for starring in over a dozen adult films as gay porn star Gus Mattox. However, as seen in his entertaining, albeit sometimes scattershot solo performance Canned Ham, now at Dixon Place, he proves to be a man of many other talents, several of which he puts on display here.
The autobiographical show, directed by Kevin Malony, tells the story of how a 42-year-old struggling actor became a gay porn sensation. Along the way, we learn about such subjects as his partner, Bruce, whom he lost to AIDS; Judson's work as a composer and performer in the downtown theater scene of the 1980s and early 90s; the actor's time in the touring companies of the Broadway musicals[...]
