Hi, Hitler
In Residence at IRT Theater:October 22- November 3 2014
Fresh off the heels of a smash hit, sold out Edinburgh Fringe debut, a debut on London's West End and a sold-out off-Broadway preview run at 59E59 , Lucie Pohl brings her 5 star show Hi, Hitler back to New York to IRT. Meet a German-Jew, who grows up in a wild family of artists, is fascinated by der Fuhrer from age four and uprooted from Hamburg to NYC at eight. As Bertolt Brecht's real-life niece, Lucie yearns for normalcy, but being different seems to run in her bloodline and escaping her inherited high-drama-destiny might just be impossible. A pinch of Hitler, a cup of hip hop and a dash of Hasselhoff.

TIMES:Thurs-Sat at 7:30 & Sun. At 2:30
LENGTH OF SHOW:60 Minutes
PRICE:$15.00
