Turning it Up to Eleven

The husband-and-wife team of Michael McKean and Annette O'Toole have contributed to such wacky Christopher Guest mock-umentaries as "A Mighty Wind" and "This is Spinal Tap." But for years, they've been performing their original songs for their Hollywood and Broadway insider friends. Now they are introducing their show to the public for the first time, with a new cabaret show at Feinsteins at the Regency. Today, they preview the show, and, with any luck, perform a song or two from "A Mighty Wind." Also: The producers of "Drumstruck" are calling it "the world's first interactive drum-theater experience." As part of the show, which recently arrived at Dodger Stages, a 2-foot-tall drum is provided on every seat—and the entire audience gets the chance to make music together. Featuring 11 South and West African percussionists, the show has played sold-out engagements from Johannesburg, South Africa to Sydney, Australia. Members of the troup join us with a live performance.
