Jersey Shore natives Billy Van Zandt and Jane Milmore will star in their hit Off-Broadway comedy "You've Got Hate Mail” at Tim McLoone’s Supper Club in Asbury Park. The critically-acclaimed, e-mail comedy of errors has been running Off-Broadway for four years.
According to Van Zandt, the team couldn’t be happier about bringing their hit show home. “We started this show out with a small production in New Jersey,” he said. “Four years later, we’re still going strong in New York plus we book frequent tour dates across the country.”
Hailed by critics (“The perfect bedroom farce…expertly directed…riotously enacted by a five-person ensemble!” —NY Post), (“LOL…The audience is guaranteed to do just that—Laugh Out loud!” —Star Ledger), (“It doesn’t get better than this!” —Show Business Weekly), (“A rapid-paced romp with a millennium twist! Hilarious!” —Curtainup.com), You’ve Got Hate Mail takes a hysterical look at the world of on-line hook-ups and break-ups.
During its tenure at New York City’s Triad Theater (now Stage 72), the production has boasted an impressive list of guest stars from Broadway, film and television, including Richard Kind (“The Producers,” “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,” “The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife”), Jeff Keller (“Phantom of the Opera”), Brian O’Halloran (“Clerks”), Meg Bennett (“Grease,” “General Hospital”), Cerina Vincent (“Not Another Teen Movie”) and Julia Duffy (“Newhart”).
On June 29, Van Zandt and Milmore join original New York City cast members Glenn Jones, Barbara Bonilla and Fran Solgan for the Asbury Park performances. Gary Shaffer (High School Reunion: The Musical) directs.
In You’ve Got Hate Mail, love "bytes" all when an extra-marital affair goes horribly wrong, thanks to a juicy e-mail left sitting on a desktop. The story is told entirely in e-mails from laptop computers, although the play does manage to have an unforgettable chase scene —thanks to Blackberries and iPhones.
Van Zandt and Milmore are the authors of 23 plays published worldwide with Samuel French and translated into multiple languages around the globe. Van Zandt’s solo play “The Property Known as Garland” broke house records at The Actor’s Playhouse in its initial Off-Broadway run.
