EVENT POSTPONED: 'Celebrity Autobiography' Coming to Molloy

Actress Carol Kane and actor Ralph Macchio will lead the off-Broadway production at Molloy's Madison Theatre.

Update, Oct. 28, 4:01 p.m. - The event has postponed due to the pending hurricane and will be rescheduled for Nov. 5.

Celebrity Autobiography -- the only live comedy event where audiences hear excerpts from celebrity-written memoirs read verbatim (with a wink) --  will be performed at the Madison Theatre at Molloy College on Monday, Oct. 29, at 8 p.m.

Led by actress Carol Kane, Ralph Macchio, Sherri Shepherd and Alan Zweibel, with creators Eugene Pack and Dayle Reyfel, a first-rate comedic ensemble will perform a variety of jaw-dropping vignettes inspired and torn straight from the pages of the most unforgettable celebrity tell-alls.

The passages run the gamut from the "he-said, she-said" accounts of Burt and Loni, to the re-enactment of Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson's courtship, to Justin Bieber's backstage confessions to the tale of the most famous Hollywood love triangle in history – Elizabeth Taylor, Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher.

And what’s remarkable and unforgettably hilarious – it’s all in their own words.  People walk away from the show asking the same question: “Did they actually write that?” The response: "Yes. We couldn't make this stuff up!"
