Tickets are half-price for early May performances of Buyer & Cellar at Broadway Playhouse at Water Tower Place.  Michael Urie, of Ugly Betty and Broadway fame (How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying), stars in this award-winning comedy about a struggling actor with a very odd job. In Buyer & Cellar Alex (Urie) works in the basement “mall” of Barbra Streisand’s Malibu home, essentially selling her own collectibles back to her. When the diva descends downstairs, she and Alex form an unlikely — and unstable — friendship. Buyer & Cellar is a hilarious comedy about the cost of things, and more importantly, the true cost of fame. Playwright Jonathan Tolins (The Twilight of the Golds, Secrets of the Trade) reteams with Urie for this production, after working with him on his latest TV series, CBS’ Partners.
