After interviewing nearly every superstar in Tinseltown as a Hollywood correspondent for the UK media, Sandro Monetti is taking to the stage HIMSELF to spill the beans on what the big names are really like in Clooney, Cowell, Pitt and Me: Amusing Encounters with the A-List – a one-man show he has written and will perform in Los Angeles, this week.
Monetti’s past accolades include writing the biographies of actors including Mickey Rourke: Wrestling with Demons and the recent chart topping e-book Colin Firth: The Man Who Would Be King. He has also reported on stars for the BBC, Sky TV, Smash Hits, and even the now defunct News of the World! Oo-er…
Clooney, Cowell, Pitt and Me, which is directed by Craig Jessen, will have a week’s run in New York in July before Sandro heads back to Britain to perform it at the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August.
From Madonna to Michael Jackson, James Stewart to Kristen Stewart, Angelina Jolie to Tom Cruise, all the icons are featured in this rollicking and affectionate look behind the velvet rope of showbiz.
The reporter turned performer said: “When people find out I interview celebrities for a living, the question I’m most often asked is ‘what’s so and so really like?’ So I created this show to answer that question.”
He added: “There is a tendency, especially here in the States, to put stars on a pedestal but despite their talent they’re all just humans like the rest of us with the same eccentricities, insecurities. Hopefully the audiences will be entertained, and come away agreeing with me, that there really is no business like showbusiness.”
The show will be staged at: Hollywood’s Lyric Theatre, 520 N. LaBrea, on Wednesday, April 25 and Thursday, April 26 with tickets available from www.plays411.com/encounters.
