A halottak is lámpalázasak néha. Charlie húsz évvel ezelőtt, egy szörnyű balesetben vesztette életét: a gimnáziumi színielőadás egyik kelléke rosszul működött, és a show kedvéért mímelt kivégzés valóságosra sikerült. Két évtizeddel később az iskolai színjátszók újra előadnák a régi darabot. Nem is sejtik, hogy bármit csinálnak - akár próba közben, akár éjszaka, amikor poénból belopóznak az épületbe -, valaki figyeli őket. Valaki, aki izgatottan készül rá, hogy kezdetét vegye végre az az előadás, amit ezúttal ő akar rendezni...

Judy at the Palace. Sinatra at Carnegie Hall. Streisand at the Garden. Stritch on Broadway. Legendary performances come along so rarely. Elaine Stritch At Liberty is an autobiographical one-woman show written by Elaine Stritch and John Lahr. The show consists of spoken monologues from Stritch following her life and career, interspersed with showtunes and pop standards which compliment her stories. Many of these songs had been originated by Stritch in major Broadway productions, such as "The Ladies Who Lunch" from Company and "Civilization" from Angel In The Wings. Her experiences and relationship with show business are focal points, but she also explores more intimate, personal themes like her alcoholism and romantic relationships.
Produced in 1978, The Neon Woman is an “outrageous murder mystery” set in a run-down Baltimore burlesque house managed by a retired stripper, Flash Storm, the hottest stripper that ever lived who has gone legit, opened her own strip joint, and is trying to cope with whatever comes along. There's Kitty Larue, the stripper with an identity problem. There's the horny bible thumping senator who wants to pray with Divine but really wants something less spiritual. Finally, Divine's young virgin daughter returns from boarding school and within minutes is turned into an alcoholic, heroin addicted stripper who has been betrothed to the black janitor. There's more but as the cliché goes, it has to be seen to be believed! By the time of it's VHS release, the 12 year old live footage was already a bit raw and gritty, but still gives more than a fair idea as to why Divine was so loved as a performer. The production ran for eighty-four performances at the Hurrah Discotheque, New York.
