The hit comedy musical revue Around the World in a Bad Mood returns to The Duplex (61 Christopher Street @ 7^th Avenue; www.theduplex.com). Friday nights – September 17, 24, October 1. All performances are at 7pm. The show was written by Rene Foss with original music by Michael McFrederick (who also musical directs). The cast includes Hector Coris, Rene Foss and Rachael Lee. Tickets are $15 plus a 2-drink minimum. For reservations, call (212) 712-8702 or online at www.theduplex.com.

The show completed a smash two-week run at the Mesa Arts Center in Arizona in March 2010, and now returns to its NYC home at the Duplex.

Real-life flight attendant Rene Foss details her adventures in the not-so-friendly skies through songs and sketches that even the most infrequent fliers will find all-too-familiar. From shady job interviews, in-flight in-fights, rousing safety demonstrations to the “secret language” of flight attendants and greedy corporate airline lawyers, you’ll get a first-class seat to one of the best take-offs in NYC.

Around the World in a Bad Mood premiered at Rose’s Turn in NYC in September 1998. It has since been performed as an ensemble musical comedy across the U.S. and Canada as well as a one-woman version of the show (performed by Ms. Foss),  which continues to tour the country. In 2002, Hyperion Books published a book version of Ms. Foss’ show under the same title. The book has sold over 50,000 copies and has been translated into three languages.
