Vicki Lawrence Tickets
NYCB Theatre at Westbury | Westbury, New York
It's a double whammy of hilarity as Vicki Lawrence comes to NYCB Theatre at Westbury on Sunday 7th April 2019 with her "two woman show", bringing everyone's favorite Mama, Thelma Harper, along for the ride! The Emmy Award-winning actress, comedian and singer delivers a warmly funny show that makes the most of her many talents:
"I think people will get a kick out of the things Mama has an opinion about. We're creating new material with a more modern and cutting edge. Where Mama is concerned, expect the unexpected. There's really nothing she can't do," she says. "I hope people will be pleasantly surprised by a side of Vicki they may never have seen.…I know they will be looking forward to Mama, and for her part, that crazy old gal will be up to the challenge."
