Award-winning performer Carisa Hendrix stars as charming socialite and cocktail enthusiast Lucy Darling as she continues her vivacious vagabond voyages with The More the Merrier, a touring variety show direct from screen to stage featuring her razor-sharp wit, unquestionable advice, and delightful friends. 

For the first time ever, Lucy will be sharing the stage with two companions. TJ Shanoff's hysterical piano improvisation daringly compliments Lucy's classic sarcasm while the delightfully eccentric Mark Ettinger accompanies Lucy on a cornucopia of other instruments, musical and otherwise. This charming trio’s playful banter and effortless chemistry creates a fun-filled family reunion you will not want to miss. 

Everyone is invited. The more the merrier!
