The man in the moon is a shiksa!  Calling all Golden Girls fans, Maude maniacs, and those who love tough broads with soft hearts, Bea Arthur is Back!  Jason B. Schmidt, the world’s premier (and only) Bea Arthur impersonator, channels the famed Tony and Emmy Winning star in his deadpan tribute, “Beatrice Arthur:  Holi-Dame”.  In the show, Bea pays homage to all those Jews who wrote Christmas songs.  She’ll tell stories about Fiddler on the Roof, Maude, The Golden Girls and she might even sing something from the Lion King.  It’s the Chrismakkuh Musical no one asked for, but everyone can enjoy – even your Aunt Karen.

Jason B. Schmidt is the world’s premier Bea Arthur impersonator and star of The Golden Gay?s? the Golden Girls Musical Drag Troupe.  They have been seen on CNN, ABC, have been talked about in the New York Times and the Associate Press and Headline The Golden Fans at Sea Cruises each year.

After an exceptional run in Portland, Oregon we are looking to take the show to other cities. We’re currently working on Philly, Boston, Nashville and Washington D.C. If you have any leads on these or other cities, please email BeaArthurAstralDame@gmail.com. We are typically looking at smaller venues, 100 seats or less, that have a piano (though track capabilities are a possibility), a simple light and sound plot, two mics and a technician.

Love you all and can’t wait to Bea in your town!

She danced her heart out and spread love and cheer all across NYC with her bosom buddies Anthony Giorgio (DFK choreographer), Orly Wahba (DFK founder) and Ophelia (NYC chanteuse). And they were all joined by The Today Show’s Hoda Kotb who did a fantastic piece this morning on NBC. It was a fantastic day for all.
