Queen City Theatre Company’s “Buyer & Cellar” has been described by the Associated Press as “irresistible, delicious, and wickedly funny.”
Charlotte on the Cheap readers have a chance to win free tickets to opening weekend and also to get a 20% discount for those nights. More on that in a minute…here’s the premise of the show, which sounds hilarious.
Buyer and Cellar is a hilarious fictional account of one man’s experience working in the basement shops of Barbra Streisand’s home. Alex More, a struggling actor in L.A. takes a job working in the Malibu basement of the beloved megastar. One day, making a rare appearance, the Lady Herself comes downstairs to play. It feels like real bonding in the basement, but will their relationship ever make it upstairs? BUYER & CELLAR is an outrageous comedy about the price of fame, the cost of things, and the oddest of odd jobs!
Inspired by Barbra Streisand’s My Passion for Design, Buyer & Cellar is part truth, part fiction. The facts? Streisand has a shopping mall in the basement of her Malibu home, featuring a doll shop, an antique clothing store and a sweets shop, complete with a frozen yogurt machine, as detailed in her 2010 book. Jonathan Tolins takes the wackiness a step further as he imagines a man who is hired to work in the basement of the mall with Babs as his only customer.
The show runs from May 14 to 23, at Duke Energy Theatre, in Spirit Square, 345 North College Street.
