Wonder of the World New Year's Eve Performance

All dressed up and nowhere to go on New Year's Eve? Theatre Southwest is offering one of the best deals in the city, with dinner and a night of zany theater in the form of David Lindsay-Abaire's wacky comedy Wonder of the World. The play, which continues without the New Year's Eve extras through January 23, starred Sarah Jessica Parker when it premiered at the Manhattan Theatre Club back in 2001. Here at Theatre Southwest, Stacy A. Spaeth takes the roll of Cass, "a tall glass of bubbly cider," as the character calls herself. Cass abandons her bad marriage and sets off to find herself. She's got a whole list of things she wants to accomplish in her life, which includes getting a sidekick, wearing a blond wig, learning Swedish and, of course, finding her soul mate. And since this is a comedy, she meets a crew of crazies who go along for the ride.
