ABOUT LOVE, LOSS, AND WHAT I WORE Proving that a great show is always in fashion, Love, Loss, and What I Wore, with its starry rotating cast and compulsively entertaining subject matter, has become an international hit. Directed by Karen Carpenter, this intimate collection of stories by Nora Ephron and Delia Ephron is based on the best-seller by Ilene Beckerman, as well as on the recollections of the Ephrons’ friends. Like the popular book, the show uses clothing and accessories and the memories they trigger to tell funny and often poignant stories that all women can relate to, creating one of the most enduring theater experiences. Love, Loss, and What I Wore opened in October 2009 at the Westside Theatre in New York City, where it broke all box-office records. The production, which was honored with a 2010 Drama Desk Award and a Broadway.com Audience Award, was performed by a rotating cast of five all-star actors, who performed in five-week cycles. Members of the cast included Samantha Bee, Alexis Bledel, Kristin Chenoweth, Tyne Daly, Fran Drescher, Janeane Garofalo, Melissa Joan Hart, Carol Kane, Stacy London, Jane Lynch, Natasha Lyonne, Rosie O’Donnell, Rhea Perlman, Caroline Rhea, Doris Roberts, Tracee Ellis Ross, Sherri Shepherd, Brooke Shields, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Cobie Smulders, Rita Wilson and many more. In addition to its New York production, Love, Loss, and What I Wore has played in Los Angeles, Toronto, Syndey, and Chicago, among other cities.
