Tickets are now on sale for I’ll Eat You Last: A Chat with Sue Mengers, starring Bette Midler. The solo show will begin Broadway performances at the Booth Theatre on April 5, and will officially open on April 24. Tony winner Joe Mantello directs this new play, which is written by Tony winner John Logan.
I’ll Eat You Last focuses on the life of famed Hollywood “superagent” Sue Mengers, who launched a successful career at a time when women talent agents were unheard of. A victim of poverty and a refugee from Hitler’s Germany, Mengers worked her way up thanks to her signature pluck, charm and wit. By the 1970s she represented Hollywood’s brightest stars and went on to become the town's most renowned hostess.
The production features set design by Scott Pask, costume design by Ann Roth, lighting design by Hugh Vanstone and sound design by Fitz Patton.
