Mary Fishburne, who plays Young Tammy in LaComedia Dinner Theatre’s current "Stand By Your Man: The Tammy Wynette Story" will next be seen as one of 10 finalists on MTV reality show “Legally Blonde: The Search for the New Elle Woods.”
Says LaComedia marketing main man Justin Walton, “Late one Sunday night after our show, she drove to Chicago, arrived at 3:00 a.m. and waited in a very cold line along with thousands of others to audition.” And made it to the finals.
You have just one week to catch Fishburne, a past winner of “Number One Soprano” in South Carolina and Vanderbilt U. grad, at LaComedia. She leaves “Wynette” before the March 2 closing in order to start her Broadway quest.
For reservations and information to “Wynette,” call the LaComedia box office at 1-800-677-9505 or visit www.lacomedia.com. For the record, Leslie Jo Bissett plays the grown-up Tammy.
