Monster Fest, which kicks off at Lido Cinemas this week (Nov 24-27) has announced today a change to its guest line-up and subsequent ‘Greasy Downunder National Tour’ featuring two stars of Sundance Film Festival sensation, “The Greasy Strangler”.
Michael St. Michaels who plays Big Ronnie in The Greasy Strangler will no longer be in attendance, and in his place, joining Greasy co-star Sky Elobar will be ‘Eastbound and Down’ star, Elizabeth De Razzo. St. Michaels was denied a visa by Australian Customs due to a cannabis charge dating back to 1970, and although he has no subsequent convictions, was still refused entry into Australia.
“Whilst we are hugely disappointed not to have Michael on the tour we are over the moon to announce Elizabeth as his replacement. Playing Janet, she is one third of the lead trio in the film and she all but steals the show with her hilarious, raunchy and bold performance. To say we are delighted to have her on board is an understatement in the extreme.” Neil Foley commented on behalf of Monster Pictures.
Foley explained that the only city affected by the change will be Adelaide, which due to a scheduling conflict, will now be omitted from the tour.
