Brother Boy is back!
That wig-wearing, Tammy Wynette-dressing Earl “Brother Boy” Ingram, brought to life by Chattanoogan Leslie Jordan in “Sordid Lives,” returns for the new comedy sequel “A Very Sordid Wedding.”
The sequel, shot last summer in Winnepeg, Canada, made its world premiere in March in Palm Springs, Calif. It has been screened in limited release to selected cities across the country: Dallas, Orlando and Fort Lauderdale, Fla. and Atlanta last week.
Tonight “A Very Sordid Wedding” opens at Chattanooga’s Palace Picture House, 815 Georgia Ave., with multiple shows through July 13.
“Sordid Lives,” written by Del Shores, was the outrageous comedy that opened as a play in Los Angles in 1996 and ran for 13 sold-out months before being released in a film adaptation in 2000. Twentieth Century Fox released the DVD in 2002, which has sold more than 300,000 units. The film was re-released in 2014 as “Sordid Lives: The Series” a 12-episode TV prequel to the film.
