Raven Snook spoke with Lois Weaver (a/k/a Tammy WhyNot) about her new show currently at The First Floor Theatre at La MaMa:
"I’ve used a talk-show format for Tammy shows in the past, but this time I
wanted to push myself; this is the most singing Tammy has ever done in a
show. The premise is she’s preparing for a concert tour for her
comeback album, which is all about getting older and having sex. The
audience members are my VIP guests, and I’m running through the songs in
advance of the actual performance. I like to think of it as a sound
check, which is a great metaphor for life: We work and work and work and
finally get it all together, and then the show is over."
