A funny show that imagines what it would be like to work in the real tchotchke-filled basement of Malibu Babs. The SJG orders you to go see it right now. It's in L.A. It's still in NYC. It's traveling around. Go see it, already. Or don't see it. I can't force you to do anything. I can guilt, but I can't force.
Michael Urie of "Ugly Betty," stars as Alex More, the lone employee of the imaginary mall that caters to one customer. Babs! He plays her, too, of course, along with her hubby James Brolin, Sharon, the snippy "house manager," and Barry, the judgy, jealous writer-boyfriend of Alex.
The book that inspired "Buyer & Cellar," the ultimate design bible that guides Babs through her privileged life. But underneath all the silk and lace and chenille, she's just a gal from Brooklyn whose only doll was a hot water bottle, and how sad is that?
