Lily Tomlin produces Leslie Jordan
Is there an odder gay success story than Leslie Jordan’s? The character actor got his big break playing the hilarious bitchy Beverly Leslie on Will & Grace and, instead of shuffling off into obscurity when the show ended, enjoyed even more ardent fandom from his turn in Del Shores’s hit cult comedy Sordid Lives. Now Jordan’s coming to the New York stage in an off-Broadway one-man show, My Trip Down The Pink Carpet. Based on his memoir of the same name, the Emmy-winning actor will tell his own tales of Hollywood mishaps, drunken behavior and what Sean Hayes is really like, thanks to producers Lily Tomlin and her partner Jane Wagner. The show opens at New York’s Midtown Theater on April 14 and runs through July 3. Unless it turns into The Fantasticks or something. Then you have all the time in the world to get there.
