The Tribute Artist

Overview

This new play by the reigning monarch of off-Broadway comedy, Charles Busch, is about an out-of-work female impersonator who, when his elderly landlady dies in her sleep, takes on her identity in order to hang on to her valuable Greenwich Village townhouse. This “perfect” scheme goes awry and leads to a wild path of twists and reversals plotted by an eccentric rogues’ gallery of outrageous schemers. Busch's signature blend of quick-witted banter and gender-bending hijinks deliver big laughs in this hit play from the master of off-Broadway farce.
