Certainly no stranger to New York’s famed cabaret scene, De Shields reigned as King of Cabaret during the 1970s with the creation of his innovative theatrical concerts in such popular clubs as Reno Sweeney, Horn of Plenty, The Grand Finale, Les Mouches, The Club at La MaMa and many other venues around the world. The Hollywood Reporter dubbed De Shields “the most lethal pelvis since Elvis!”

Lia Chang: André De Shields Stars in Archbishop Supreme Tartuffe

ANDRE DE SHIELDS. Photo by Lia Chang

André De Shields Photo by Lia Chang

André De Shields plays the title character in the Classical Theatre of Harlem’s production of Archbishop Supreme Tartuffe by Alfred Preisser & Randy Weiner, at The Clurman @ Theatre Row in New York, from June 12 – July 19, 2009.  Opening night is June 25.

Archbishop Supreme Tartuffe is an original play with music, inspired by Moliere’s great comic classic and informed by the gloriously unorthodox ministries of Reverend Ike, Daddy Grace and Rasputin.  Set within a fabulously theatrical Harlem Renaissance-era “church,” the play explores the outrageously creative criminal mind of the title character through a series of songs, dances, sermons and feats of divine inspiration. Helmed by Alfred Preisser, the cast also stars Ted Lange and Kim Brockington, and features Lawrence Street, Reji Woods, Tyrone Davis, Jennifer Akabue, Gina Marie Rivera, Kisa Willis, Charletta Rozzell, Soneelea Nankani, Jabari Brisport and Gerron Atkinson.

The multiple Tony Award nominee has appeared in numerous Broadway, Off Broadway and regional productions as well as television and film, and just completed a run on Broadway in Michael Jacobs’ Impressionism, starring Joan Allen and Jeremy Irons. On Broadway, he appeared in the original casts of The Wiz, Ain’t Misbehavin’ (Emmy Award), Play On!, The Full Monty and Prymate. He also conceived, co-wrote, directed, and starred in Haarlem Nocturne. In 2007, he won the coveted OBIE Award for Sustained Excellence in Performance. His television credits include Cosby, Sex and the City, Law & Order, Lipstick Jungle and Life on Mars.

Archbishop Supreme Tartuffe will play Tuesdays 7pm, Wednesday through Friday evenings at 8pm, Saturdays st 3pm & 8pm, and Sundays at 3pm & 7pm. Tickets will be $51.25 (including restoration fee) and can be purchased at http://www.TicketCentral.com or by calling 212.279.4200. The Clurman Theatre is located at Theatre Row, 410 West 42nd St., between 9th and 10th Aves.

Presented in a translation by Nichoas Rudall, and featuring original music by Philip Glass, the production re-imagines the classic story about what happens when a government attempts to outlaw desire.

The cast will feature George Bartenieff as Cadmus, Jonathan Groff as Dionysus, Karen Kandel as Chorus Leader, Joan MacIntosh as Agave, Steven Rishard as Cowherd, and Rocco Sisto as Messenger. The Greek chorus will include Marisa Echeverria, Colleen Fitzpatrick, Jennifer Ikeda, Jennifer Nikki Kidwell, Alexa Kryzaniwsky, Vella Lovell, Nana Mensah, Ereni Sevasti, Elena Shaddow, Han Tang, and Idara Victor.
