WORLD PREMIERE CONCERT @ the green room 42
Just in time for Mother’s Day, The Green Room 42 presents the world premiere concert of the musical parody R.E.D. Hat Fight Club. Written by the American Theatre Wing’s Jonathan Larson Grant and MAC Award-winning Joel B. New (Tempting Mr. Lincoln, Undertaking Christmas) and starring some of the funniest leading ladies from Broadway and beyond, R.E.D. Hat Fight Club is a deliberately stupid, sweet, violent, and queer AF hit musical parody in the making.
about the show
After getting fired on her fiftieth birthday, a plucky milliner falls in love with a mysterious stranger and starts an underground fight club. But when it all inevitably spirals out of control, she must get even pluckier to put a stop to the mayhem and save the world before it’s too late.
