Love, Loss and What I Wore Tour Announces Loretta Swit as Cast Member
Charlotte, NC – Producer Daryl Roth and Blumenthal Performing Arts announces Loretta Swit (Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan on M*A*S*H, The Love Boat) will headline the first national tour of Love, Loss, and What I Wore.  The show comes to Charlotte Jan. 24-29 in the McGlohon Theater at Spirit Square.  Tickets are on sale now.

Written by Nora Ephron  (Sleepless in Seattle, When Harry Met Sally and You’ve Got Mail) and Delia Ephron (You’ve Got Mail, Hanging Up), Love, Loss, and What I Wore opened in October 2009 at New York’s Westside Theatre (407 W 43rd Street), where it’s broken all box office records.  Based on the best-selling book by Ilene Beckerman as well as on the recollections of the Ephrons’ friends, and directed by Karen Carpenter, this collection of stories dares to ask, “Can’t we all just stop pretending anything is ever going to be the new black?”  Love, Loss, And What I Wore opens the closet on this and other sartorial queries by using clothes as a metaphor for matters far deeper than the average walk-in closet, creating one of the most enduring theatergoing experiences in New York and now across the country.
The production, which was honored with the 2010 Drama Desk Award and a Broadway.com Audience Award, recently kicked off its first national tour at Chicago’s Broadway Playhouse theatre Sept. 13, 2011 and has had productions in Los Angeles, Canada, Australia, Paris, South America and more.
LORETTA SWIT became an American icon starring in television’s most honored series, M*A*S*H. She has been honored with two Emmys, People’s Choice Award, Genie Award, Silver Satellite Award, ten Emmy nominations and eight Golden Globe nominations. Her signature piece, Shirley Valentine, won her Chicago’s most prestigious honor, the Sarah Siddons Award. On Broadway, she starred in Same Time, Next Year and The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Toured with Mame, Song of Singapore, 42nd Street and did The Vagina Monologues in New York, London and Chicago. She has eight features to her credit and 25 films for television.
