Audible Inc. announced today that six-time Emmy Award nominee Tituss Burgess (“Schmigadoon!,” “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” “Central Park,” The Little Mermaid) and Tony Award winner Jane Krakowski (“Schmigadoon!,” “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” “30 Rock,” Nine) will perform live together in a new show, Center of the YOUniverse, for three nights only, Thursday, June 15 – Saturday, June 17, on stage at Audible’s Minetta Lane Theatre (18 Minetta Lane, between MacDougal & 6th Avenue – one block south of W. 3rd Street), Audible’s creative home for live performances in New York. Directing is Tony Award winner Christopher Gattelli (“Schmigadoon!,” Newsies, The King and I). Center of the YOUniverse will also be recorded live from the Minetta Lane Theatre and released on Audible at a later date, extending its reach to millions of listeners around the world.
Center of the YOUniverse is an out-of-this world spectacle starring Tituss Burgess and Jane Krakowski with music, laughter, and (probably) the salvation of humanity from its self-inflicted doom. Unaware of just how brightly the other one shines, Tituss and Jane will attempt the impossible: a double-booking. In a unique blend of song and storytelling, they’ll stop at nothing to upstage each other and steal the spotlight….until they realize the true purpose of being ridiculously attractive and having immeasurable talent: to unite and heal the world. It’s an outrageously fun and weird show full of pop and theatrical duets. A clash of divas and dueling vocals. It’s the show the world didn’t know it needed until reading this blurb.
Tickets for Center of the YOUniverse will be available exclusively to Audible members beginning Tuesday, April 11, and will go on sale to the public beginning Thursday, April 13 at noon ET.
Technical supervision for the production is by Hudson Theatrical Associates with general management by Baseline Theatrical’s Andy Jones & Jonathan Whitton.
