Appearing Nitely (Lily Tomlin)

Comic icon Lily Tomlin’s acclaimed 1977 solo Broadway tour-de-force 'Appearing Nitely' turns the stage of the Biltmore Theatre into a multi-character comic masterpiece, running for over 100 sold-out performances and earning Tomlin a Special Tony Award. Written in close collaboration with Jane Wagner, the brilliant, vignette-driven production showcases Tomlin’s unmatched chameleon-like physical characterizations, introducing the public to legendary counter-cultural personas like Ernestine the telephone operator, the philosophical vagrant Trudy, and the cynical teenager Tommy. This tracking preserves a historic primary document recording an absolute peak of solo comedic showmanship in American stage history.
