Paul Iacono: The Stritch Is Back

The irrepressible Paul Iacono, who played the title role in MTV’s hung-teen series The Hard Times of RJ Berger, uses hits by Elton John and Bernie Taupin to regale audiences with tales of times he spent as a youth with the wind to his candle: the legendary Broadway battle-axe Elaine Stritch. (Stritch's never-realized final project was an Elton-themed cabaret.) Green Room impresario Ben Rimalower directs, and musical director Drew Wutke helps Iacono hit the John.
