The Big Molinksy

David and Dorothea Garfield Theatre
4126 Executive Dr. La Jolla

Nellie McKay exploded onto the music scene in 2004 with her eclectic showstopper, Get Away From Me, "a tour de force from a sly, articulate musician" (The New York Times). With a voice that can be boisterous and bold or soft and breathy, McKay harnesses the agility of a superstar athlete from the piano bench. She's maintained that adventurousness -- starring on Broadway in The Threepenny Opera, opening for Lou Reed at Carnegie Hall, duetting with Eartha Kitt and recording a dazzling tribute to Doris Day. In her solo show The Big Molinksy: Considering Joan Rivers at the David & Dorothea Garfield Theatre in La Jolla, McKay delivers a performance for the ages as the talented and treasured Joan Rivers (playing a few other people in Rivers' life to boot).
