Lynn Ruth Miller's ALZHEIMER'S, ALZHEIMER'S, CHA, CHA, CHA
San Francisco's Stripping Granny performs LIVE in Fresno! Lynn Ruth Miller, 77 years old and still blooming brings her cabaret to The Broken Leg Stage after her sell-out performances of "AGING IS AMAZING" at this year's Rogue Festival. She's expanded her musical exploration of the senior condition into 2 hilarious acts and added the irrepressible TONY IMPERATRICE at the piano. Don't miss this travesty of song and dance, that got standing ovations in Rome, San Francisco, Brighton and even Santa Rosa! Winner of the 2009 Brighton's Latest Magazine's Star of the Festival Award. This is musical comedy at its worst, proving that even though your body parts drop to your ankles, they still can move with enough zest to raise an eyebrow if nothing else.
Lynn Ruth Miller hit the headlines in Edinburgh in 2005 when she jumped out of a cake (almost) and removed her clothes (not quite) on every stage that would have her. In 2008, her antics hit the headlines of The London Times. She will now perform her off-key cabaret to Fresno audiences to glorify old age and revel in the disasters it brings to the human form.
"Gleefully sticking two fingers up to all expectations of how a 77-year-old should behave, Lynn Ruth Miller serves up a unique, life-affirming variety act. From the opening burlesque number, in which she strips down to her antique
undergarments, this tiny ball of tireless enthusiasm simply celebrates human existence, free of any concept of embarrassment. an act of belated rebellion against the invisibility of older people, deriding the nursing-home mentality and celebrating the joys of Spandex and sparkle." Steve Bennett; Chortle, 2009
"Lynn Ruth Miller can come across as a bit of a twee lightweight for a moment, then she throws out one of her asides and bring the house down. I loved every single moment of being in her company; she was inspirational, motivating, delicate, vivacious, effervescing and when stamping her foot and singing that 'she'd written the book on love' utterly believable."
