When Debbie Harry wrestled Andy Kaufman, 1983


Caitlan Clarke, Andy Kaufman and Debbie Harry,1983

Teaneck Tanzi: The Venus Flytrap was a 1983 Broadway play that starred Debbie Harry as “Tanzi,” Caitlan Clarke as “Tanzi” and Andy Kaufman as the “referee.” Debbie Harry and Caitlin Clarke had to alternate in the lead role of “Tanzi” because of the strenuous nature of the wrestling.

Apparently the play didn’t do too well, though. Despite its success in London, Teaneck Tanzi closed on Broadway after just a single performance.

From a 2007 Gothamist interview with Debbie Harry:

What can you tell us about your Broadway debut alongside Andy Kaufman in Teaneck Tanzi?

The Venus Flytrap? [Laughs.] Well, it was a very interesting little musical play. At the time, way back in the beginning of the ‘80s, Chris [Stein, co-founder of Blondie] and I were very big wrestling fans and we used to go to the Garden all the time because we had a friend who did all the promotion there and she would get us ringside seats. We had a great time and started going to wrestling many, many years before Cindi [Lauper] starting hanging out with Lou Albano. So then all of a sudden I got this script and I thought it could be really fun. So we did the show for about three weeks in previews, downtown in a nice sort of loft space Off Off-Broadway. And it was great; the audiences were loud and everybody was shouting at the wrestlers just like a real wrestling match. And then they decided they were going to open it on Broadway and it opened and closed almost instantly! So I guess it was a little bit premature for Broadway.

I remember that play. I never got round to seing it unfortunately. I seem to recall Toyah Wilcox played the main role.

Didn`t know that Debbie Harry has wrestled Andy Kaufman, but I remember the "Venus Flytrap" from the german version of the Trafford Tanzi Story

Alaina Mayer has also played this character

Yes she did, I saw her at the Mermaid theatre in London sometime in the 80's.
She was very cute and demonstrated good wrestling technique. I think she had been coached by a professional ladies wrestling legend - Sue Britain,maybe, (aka Marge Farrer - who died recently,and who campaigned - and won - the right for women to compete professionally.)
