Academy Award Nominees to
Celebrate 46th Wedding Anniversary During Las Vegas Stop of Pre-Broadway Tour
The classic comedy “Lovers
And Other Strangers,” written by and starring Academy Award nominees Renée
Taylor and Joseph Bologna, stops in Las Vegas at the Suncoast Showroom for two performances, August
13 and 14, each evening at 7:30 p.m.
In “Lovers And Other
Strangers,” Taylor and Bologna introduce the various scenes and characters of the
play with hilarious anecdotes that give the audience insight into their own
46-year love story, as well as the crazy family and friends that inspired each
of the five scenes of the play. Joining Taylor and Bologna on stage are actors Jack Maxell and Jennifer
Lassalette.
This pre-Broadway tour marks
the first time Taylor and Bologna have revived “Lovers And Other Strangers” since its
successful debut on Broadway in 1968, which also starred the husband-and-wife
comedy duo.
Taylor and Bologna adapted the script for the screenplay of the 1970
film, starring Beatrice Arthur, Bonnie Bedelia, Richard S. Castellano, Cloris
Leachman and Gig Young. The film received two Academy Award nominations,
including Best Supporting Actor for Castellano and Best Adapted Screenplay, and
won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, “For All We Know.”
In addition to “Lovers And
Other Strangers,” Taylor and Bologna co-wrote and starred in the Emmy
Award-winning television special “Acts of Love and Other Comedies,” the 1971
film “Made For Each Other,” and the 1981 Broadway production of “It Had To Be
You.”
Showtime is 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available from $15.95, plus tax and
convenience fees. Tickets can be purchased at any Coast Casinos box office, by
