Celebrity Big Brother winner Alex Reid is coming to Salford in the UK Premiere of the off-Broadway smash hit comedy ‘Die, Mommie, Die!'
The devilishly delicious actor/MMA fighter/TV personality Alex Reid is joining the UK Premiere cast of the Off-Broadway Charles Busch comedy/melodrama Die, Mommie, Die! Produced by the multi award winning Manchester based Vertigo Theatre Productions.
Reid will join the cast as the Hollywood lothario Tony Parker who has a BIG secret, he will be joining Dale Vicker who returns to his role as the fallen star Angela Arden, a role he received rave reviews for. The cast also features Emma Morgan (Noir) as Bootsie, Anna Hickling (Porno Chic) as Edith, Benjamin Gray (Fake News) as Lance with more cast to be announced.
Directed by award winning Craig Hepworth, Die, Mommie, Die! takes us to 1960s Hollywood to meet fallen star Angela Arden and her dysfunctional family. Angela is trapped in a hateful marriage to film producer Sol Sussman, bored with her life, Angela finds herself a little play thing, the Hollywood wannabe Tony Parker.
Now, Angela needs Sol out of the way so comes up with a murderous plan, unfortunately for her, her family won’t make things easy. Between her bratty daddy’s girl daughter, her sweet but strange son and her alcoholic love-struck maid, Angela has her work cut out for her, but this is a gal who will rise to any occasion……even Murder!
Die, Mommie, Die is a loving parody of the ‘Hag Horror’ movies of the 60s that usually stared aging actresses like Bette Davis, Joan Crawford and Lana Turner in movies like Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, Dead Ringer, Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte to name but a few.
So get ready, because mommie dearest is ready for her close up…..and she demands your attention.
