[email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CASTING ANNOUNCED for the Falcon Theatre production of the Off-Broadway Hit & Critically Acclaimed Comedy Buyer & Cellar Written By Jonathan Tolins Directed by Dimitri Toscas Starring Jai Rodriguez BURBANK, CA (July 13, 2016) – The Falcon Theatre is thrilled to announce the casting for the second production of its 2016-2017 Season. Emmy Award-winning television host and Broadway singer/performer, Jai Rodriguez has been cast to play Alex More in Buyer & Cellar written by Jonathan Tolins and directed by Dimitri Toscas. Rodriguez starred opposite Reba McEntire and Lily Tomlin in ABC’s comedy Malibu, portrayed ‘Angel’ in the Broadway musical Rent, and is best known for his role in Bravo’s Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Inspired by Barbra Streisand’s book My Passion for Design, this Off-Broadway hit is an outrageous comedy about the price of fame, the cost of things, and the oddest of odd jobs. Alex More, a struggling actor in LA, takes a job working in Barbra Streisand’s Malibu basement, as a solo shopkeeper of sorts for her mall-like collection of memorabilia. One day, the Lady Herself comes downstairs to play, and an unlikely friendship develops. This one-man-play takes the audience on a rollercoaster of emotions as Alex navigates a world that is part truth and part fiction. What is true? There is a mall in the basement of Barbra Streisand’s Malibu home. Tolins takes this truth and creates a hilarious world where one man services the whole mall for a single customer, Babs herself.
