“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.

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
