Now Playing: Martin Short - Fame Becomes Me

Martin Short - Fame Becomes Me

This is a new Broadway musical starring actor/comedian Martin Short. This description is from the press materials: "Fame Becomes Me begins with Short and company singing the exuberant 'Party with Marty', launching what he intends to be a celebration of his 'fabulous, perfect life'. Very quickly, it becomes clear the audience-addicted to Oprah and Behind the Music-expects scandal and angst from their star. Lacking any in his own life, Short frantically modifies his life story as he and the cast tell it, adding the requisite struggle, pain, and psychobabble to fabricate an increasingly hilarious alternative autobiography."
