“Us,” Tim Miller’s one-man, one-night show that occurs on Saturday, May 10th, at the Marigny Theater at 8PM as part of the Saints & Sinners Festival, ricochets between Miller’s love affair with Broadway musicals to an exploration of gay marriage, exile and the injustices lesbian and gay people face in the good ol' USA. The show careens from memories of a ten year old's plan to flee to Canada to escape the war in Viet Nam ("Man of La Mancha") to a meditation on why a Southern California child spoke with an English accent (Oliver!").

“Us,” Tim Miller’s one-man, one-night show that occurs on Saturday, May 10th, at the Marigny Theater at 8PM as part of the Saints & Sinners Festival, ricochets between Miller’s love affair with Broadway musicals to an exploration of gay marriage, exile and the injustices lesbian and gay people face in the good ol' USA. The show careens from memories of a ten year old's plan to flee to Canada to escape the war in Viet Nam ("Man of La Mancha") to a meditation on why a Southern California child spoke with an English accent (Oliver!"). Miller takes us on a journey that re-thinks the American Musical as inspiration for radical politics and queer identity. "Us" was nominated in 2005 for a NY Drama Desk Award for best solo on- or off-Broadway. The show also appears in Miller’s book 1001 BEDS which won the 2007 literary prize for best Drama-Theater Book from the Lambda Literary Foundation.

Notes: "Timelier than ever in light of President Bush's proposed constitutional amendment to deny gays' rights to marry, US boils with Miller's distinctive mix of anger and humor, literate intelligence and rock-star stage presence. Moving with relentless energy around the space, including the seats, he links his political commentary with childhood memories of that most wholesome and most subversive of American entertainments, the Broadway musical. Miller is here acerbic, sweet, self-righteous, exhibitionist, and celebratory." - Albert Williams, Chicago Reader "This Bush-bashing radical's climactic show-tune striptease is a corker" - Donald Hutera, The Times, London
"Miller has created a droll and engaging new show that blends wit and emotionalism with a coherent and radical political message. " - Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
"As a rallying cry for gay rights, Tim Miller's "Us'' contains a sweet-spirited, honest and seriously funny commentary on the power of popular art to shape people's moral, social and sexual development. Miller is, as always, a frisky and charismatic performer" - Charles Isherwood, New York Times
