| Louis Mustillo in Bartenders |
Louis Mustillo's one-man show
Bartenders is moving to the John Houseman Theatre on Theatre Row for an open-ended run. The show, which played a limited engagement last month at the Phil Bosakowski Theatre, will start performances on November 22 at the studio space in the theater which was vacated by
Puppetry of the Penis earlier this month.
"There are no penises onstage whatsoever," Mustillo joked to Broadway.com when asked about how his show sizes up to its predecessor. "Instead, there are six different bartenders, fully clothed." As promised, Bartenders, which is directed by Janis Powell, features a half-dozen monologues introducing the audience to what Mustillo refers to as "lifers," or career bartenders. "My father was a lifetime bartender," he says. "I was raised and clothed on tips."
Mustillo was last seen off-Broadway in his solo piece Circumstances, which he performed prior to moving to Los Angeles. Since the move, Mustillo has become a regular on the big and small screens, appearing in the films Passed Away, johns, Freeway, The Last Big Thing, The Peacemaker, Corrina, Corrina, Just the Ticket and Dudley Do-Right. His TV credits include appearances on the shows Seinfeld, NYPD Blue, Man of the People, L.A. Law, Malibu Beach, The Trials of Rosie O'Neill and Steven Spielberg's High Incident. On the LA stage, he won a Drama-Logue Award for his work in Sticks and Stones at the Met Theatre.
