Description
Ben Rimalower
will perform his acclaimed Off-Broadway solo plays, PATTI ISSUES (about
his obsession with Broadway diva Patti LuPone and his relationship with
his troubled gay father) and BAD WITH MONEY (about how an addiction to
spending beyond his means has driven him to extreme lengths all his
life) in a double repertory bill at The Duplex. Patti Issues has
garnered praise from numerous high profile attendees such as Alan
Cumming, Tony Kushner and Ms. LuPone herself. (“The show’s fantastic,”
she said. “It’s really wonderful. I was moved.”) The New York Times
cited “a well-honed script with an engagingly spontaneous delivery and a
nose for sharp, observational comedy” and The New Yorker hailed,
“endearing, drolly written and performed with heaps of charisma.” In Bad
with Money, Rimalower charts his journey through drug addiction,
prostitution, fraud and multiple betrayals—a no-holds-barred
self-portrait of an addict, which casts light on the last societal
taboo. Time Out New York rated Bad with Money four stars, “light, funny”
and “vividly personal,” while The Advocate decreed “courageously
honest, keenly specific and emotionally naked.” Both works are written
and performed by Ben Rimalower and directed by Aaron Mark.
BEN RIMALOWER
is the author and star of Off-Off-Broadway’s long-running, critically
acclaimed, smash hit solo plays Bad with Money (The Advocate’s #1 Solo
Show of 2014) and Patti Issues (New York Time Critics Pick, M.A.C. and
Bistro Awards, Official Selection: Adelaide Cabaret Festival and Eugene
O’Neill Theater Center Summer Conference), both of which he continues to
perform around the world, while simultaneous regional productions pop
up with other actors “playing” Ben Rimalower, including two-time Tony
nominee Robin De Jesus in New York. His “Do You Have Patti Issues?” PSA
with Alan Cumming and Patti LuPone was a homepage selection on
FunnyOrDie. He is a regular contributor to Vulture, Playbill, Out, Time
Out New York, Decider and New Now Next and his short story, Little Old
Sam, was included in the book My Dog, My Friend. Patti Issues will soon
be available in print from Hal Leonard as part of Singular Sensations:
The Best Solo Shows. As
an actor, Ben has been seen at Joe’s Pub in Our Hit Parade, and Murray
Hill’s Oscar Night show, as both Patti LuPone and Elaine Stritch in You
Like Me and as a literally flaming Jack Nicholson in The Witches of East
Village at the Gramercy Theatre with Coco Peru and Chad Michaels, in
addition to the upcoming The Night Elaine Stritch Died by Matte O’Brien.
Television appearances include Bravo TV’s “Watch What Happens Live,”
ABC’s “Extreme Makeover” and Billy Eichner and Rachel Dratch’s
“Halloween Adventure.” Ben
directed and produced the Off-Broadway plays Joy (Actors Playhouse, Out
Magazine: “Top Ten Theatre”) and The Fabulous Life of a Size Zero
(Daryl Roth/DR2 Theatre), as well as numerous off Off-Broadway plays,
readings, benefits and concerts. He has earned the title the “Midas of
Cabaret” (The Advocate) helming a slew of solo shows, most notably
conceiving and directing Leslie Kritzer is Patti LuPone at Les Mouches
(Time Out New York Award) and subsequently producing
Sh-K-Boom/Ghostlight Records’ long- awaited recording, Patti LuPone at
