Theatrical Concert Based on Mad Men Eyes Vegas, NYC

A stage revue inspired by the Emmy-winning drama series Mad Men may be hitting the road, according to Variety. Featuring two-time Tony winner Robert Morse and stage favorite Bryan Batt, A Night on the Town with “Mad Men” enjoyed a successful one-night benefit performance on October 21 at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles. Now executives from Lionsgate, producers of the TV series, are hoping to book the show into Las Vegas and New York, with stops in London and Australia to promote season two of Mad Men in those countries.

The initial stage performance featured Morse who plays ad honcho Bertram Cooper, Batt closeted ad man Salvatore Romano, Colin Hanks Father John Gill in season two, Maggie Siff department store heiress Rachel Menken and Patrick Fischler sleazy TV pitchman Jimmy Barrett, hosted by Joel Murray ousted drunken ad exec Fred Rumsen. The performers sang Rat Pack-era songs ranging from early Dylan to pop and jazz standards accompanied by a 13-piece orchestra led by Mad Men composer David Carbonara.

Variety reports that other Mad Men actors who did not participate in the initial show are now interested in future dates. Meanwhile, Mad Men star  Elisabeth Moss copywriter Peggy Olson is currently starring in the Broadway revival of Speed-the-Plow.
