Hit 'Southern Comfort' Breaks Box Office Records:
Jeff McCarthy (left) is Lola, and Annette O'Toole is Robert in Southern Comfort.
The CAP21 Theatre Company's recent off-Broadway production, Southern Comfort, (by Dan Collins & Julianne Wick Davis, Directed by Thomas Caruso) broke all previous box office records after selling out its month long run. The hit musical was then given a one week extension, which sold out immediately.
CAP21's production of Southern Comfort received serious critical acclaim, including glowing reviews from The New York Times, Time Out New York, The New York Post, and The Advocate. Both The New York Times and Time Out New York listed it as the 'Critic's Pick' and 'Best Bet'. CAP21 is ecstatic!
