THE GREEN ROOM 42 – the intimate concert venue dubbed Broadway’s “off-night hotspot” by The New York Times – will present the return of The Real Housewives of New York: The Parody Musical on Friday, June 16 at 7:00 PM and 9:30 PM. Written by 2023 Richard Rodgers Award winner Dylan MarcAurele, the show is coming back to the club following a sold-out debut, a sold-out encore, and an appearance on Bravo TV’s “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.” The cast will include Brooke Sweeney, Deborah Berenson, Nina Jayashankar, Kim Onah, Olivia Miller, Rocky Paterra, Tess Davison, and Zofia Weretka. The show is directed by Marc Tumminelli.
The Real Housewives of New York: The Parody Musical is a raucous revue celebrating and satirizing thirteen seasons of the iconic reality series. Set during 2018’s nation-dividing conflict between the Skinniest Girl and the Kennedy Princess, the story follows “Real Housewives” cast members past and present as they compete for their chance to win a spin-off—or to fade into obscurity forever. The show is an offshoot of the popular Instagram channel @RHONYmusical, which amassed 28,000 followers over the course of the pandemic. Created, written, and directed by MarcAurele, the account’s short musical sketches have drawn praise from celebrities like Molly Shannon, Gary Janetti, and Antoni Porowski.
Dylan MarcAurele is a New York-based writer. He recently won the 2023 Richard Rodgers Award, was a 2020-21 Dramatists Guild Foundation Fellow, and was a 2021 Jonathan Larson Grant finalist.
