All My Children alum Susan Lucci (ex-Erica Kane) has been spreading her acting wings since the ABC soap she called home for over 40 years came to a close, and the next challenge she's taking on is a role in Celebrity Autobiography: The Next Chapter.
The actress will be joining Tate Donovan, Michael Urie, Alan Zweibel, Eugene Pack, and Dayle Reyfel for the special performance, which features performers who act out classic excerpts from celebrity tell-alls.
Created by Eugene Pack and developed by Eugene Pack and Dayle Reyfel, Celebrity Autobiography: The Next Chapter features a lineup of rotating performers who read -- in both solo and ensemble pieces -- the actual words and stories written by the famous and the infamous in their autobiographies.
This go-around of the popular performance series will feature new selections from books by Justin Bieber, Madonna, Tiger Woods, Susan Lucci, David Hasselhoff (ex-Dr. William "Snapper" Foster, The Young and the Restless), Geraldo Rivera, Melissa Gilbert, Patti LuPone, Kenny Loggins, Destiny's Child, the Jonas Brothers, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Diana Ross, David Cassidy, Britney Spears, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Eminem, and Vanna White.
Celebrity Autobiography: The Next Chapter will also include some new, special 'celebrity mash-ups' including Cher, Barbra Streisand, Neil Sedaka, Dolly Parton, and Celine Dion all expressing their passion for food; Sylvester Stallone and Tommy Lee on working out and working 'it' out; LL Cool J, Miley Cyrus, and Ricky Martin addressing who they "really are;" Tallulah Bankhead, Kathleen Turner, and Ethel Merman sharing the secrets of "diva-dom;" and Lauren Bacall and Carol Channing recreating the suspense of Tony night.
Lucci's performance will take place on Monday, November 21, at the Triad theater in New York City. For tickets and more information, click here.
