The show's producers listed Laugh Whore as a revival on the Internet Broadway Database, but the last incarnation of this show, then titled An Evening With Mario Cantone, played only four performances in 2002, on Sunday and Monday evenings when the American Airlines Theater was otherwise dark. To us, it sounds like the first go 'round was more of a tryout or workshop. No matter, that will be decided at the end of the season when the Tony© people get together to decide who's eligible for what. Mr Cantone is again expected to beard many of the entertainment world's legends in a blend of song, comedy and his own, very own, style
