Synopsis

Welcome to Southie, a Boston neighborhood where a night on the town means a few rounds of bingo... where this month's paycheck covers last month's bills... and where Margie Walsh has just been let go from yet another job. Facing eviction and scrambling to catch a break, Margie thinks an old fling who has made it out of Southie might be her ticket to a fresh new start. But is this apparently self-made man secure enough to face his humble beginnings? Margie is about to risk what little she has left to find out.With his signature humorous glow, Lindsay-Abaire explores the struggles, shifting loyalties and unshakable hopes that come with having next to nothing in America.

Fat Pig 

Belasco Theatre 111 West 44th Street New York, NY 10036 Previews Start: April 12, 2011 Show Opens: April 26, 2011 Open Run Ticket Price: $51.50 - $129.00 Tickets by Phone: 212-239-6200 800-432-7250 http://www.fatpigonbroadway.com Synopsis This razor-sharp comedy tells the story of Tom (Josh Hamilton), a  very eligible bachelor who falls for the beautiful, bright and plus-sized Helen (Heather Jane Rolff). Tom is overjoyed with his new relationship but his shallow co-workers are less enthusiastic. Tom shrugs off their objections but eventually the cruel jabs of his acerbic friend Carter (Dane Cook) and Jeannie (Julia Stiles), a former flame, force him to question his own values and the importance of conventional good looks. The bitingly funny Fat Pig is playwright Neil LaBute's candid and unapologetic depiction of our obsession with image and cookie cutter beauty.
