Looped, starring Valerie Harper as Tallulah Bankhead, begins performances at Broadway's Lyceum Theatre.
Written by Matthew Lombardo and directed by Rob Ruggiero, Looped tells the story of Bankhead, the internationally celebrated actress, being called into a sound studio in 1965 to re-record (or “loop”) one line of dialogue for what would be her last film, the dreadful Die, Die My Darling. Southern, but by no means a belle, Bankhead was known for her wild partying and convention-defying exploits that outshone even today’s celebrity bad girls. Given her inebriated state (and inability to loop the line perfectly), what ensues is a hilarious showdown between an uptight and conservative sound editor, Danny Miller, and the outrageous star.
