Claybourne Elder’s “I Want to be Bad” (Kingston)
Broadway’s hunky gay ex-Mormon dad Claybourne Elder (Company, Sunday in the Park with George, Bonnie and Clyde, and HBO’s The Gilded Age) brings his sold-out touring concert to Kingston’s Old Dutch Church for a very special night only show that show that is hilarious, heartfelt and surprisingly filthy.
In a show that’s part cabaret, part stand-up, Clay explores sex, fatherhood, and what exactly happens when you eat the body of Christ. With Clay’s favorite music from Sondheim to the Great American Songbook to Whitney Houston – come see why critics call him “Handsome and intense” (NY Observer), “Tough and tender” (NY Daily News) and “Stupid funny as he is drop-dead buff” (The Wrap).
Can’t join us in at the Old Dutch Church? You can also catch ‘I Want To Be Bad’ at WAMC’s Linda Auditorium in Albany on Sunday, March 10th at 7pm.
