If either of you who read this blog live in New York, you’re in luck

by Amy

The fan-freakin’-tabulous cast of 30 Rock is putting on a live version of the show tonight at New York’s Upright Citizens Brigade Theater (307 W. 26th Street). A performance of “30 Rock — On Strike!” tonight at 8 p.m. being held in the 150-seat theater will include the show’s full cast performing a complete episode. So we’re guessing this includes show’s stars Tina Fey, Tracy Morgan, Jane Krakowski and Alec Baldwin will all be there.

The show, for the most part is sold out, except for a handful of tickets to be made available at the door so get there early or check Craig’s List for jacked up tickets.

On Saturday night, Michael Cera hosted a live version of Saturday Night Live there as well (he agreed to host after Amy Poehler sent him a text message). The cast which was made up of current cast members as well as some recent departures, performed about 15 sketches including a hip-hop game show, Weekend Update segment and of a live performance of the “Iran so Far” digital short.

Proceeds from the SNL and 30 Rock performances will benefit the behind-the-scenes staffers who have lost work because of the shutdowns caused by the two-week strike by the Writers Guild of America.

“The Upright Citizens Brigade Theater is a second home to a lot of these performers and writers,” Poehler said in a statement. “We are doing this to raise spirits, raise awareness and raise money for our hard-working production crews who will be having a hard holiday season if this strike continues.”

If anyone is lucky enough to see this live please give us a full report so we can hate you forever.

    God, I would love to live in NYC and be able to be part of the goings on there. I used to be able to visit for about a week every year for business, and I sure as heck made the most of it. If it wasn’t so horrendously expensive to live there, I’d come back and stay. We don’t have Amy Poehlers and Tina Feys in the midwest … kinda sucks.

    [...] I digress. There is no such thing as 30 Rock on Ice but a lucky 150 or so got to see a live version of 30 Rock on Monday at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in New York. I myself had an uncomfortable [...]
