SHOWTIME(R) ANNOUNCES PREMIERE DATE FOR "PERSONALITY CRISIS: ONE NIGHT ONLY" FROM ACADEMY AWARD(R) WINNING DIRECTOR MARTIN SCORSESE AND EMMY(R) NOMINEE DAVID TEDESCHI

From Imagine Documentaries and Sikelia Productions, Film About Famed NYC Music Legend David Johansen of the New York Dolls Will Premiere on Friday, April 14 at 8PM ET/PT

LOS ANGELES - March 16, 2023 - "Vegetarian, gay, straight; I just wanted to bring those walls down and have a party," proclaims David Johansen, influential '70s glam punk lead singer of the New York Dolls.

For the first time ever, PERSONALITY CRISIS: ONE NIGHT ONLY reveals the many faces of Johansen when it premieres on SHOWTIME on Friday, April 14, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. From Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese (The Last Waltz, No Direction Home: Bob Dylan, George Harrison: Living in the Material World, Pretend It's a City), co-director Emmy nominee David Tedeschi (The 50 Year Argument) and executive producers Academy Award(R) winning filmmakers Brian Grazer and Ron Howard, present this wildly entertaining portrait, available for streaming and on demand to SHOWTIME subscribers that same day. To watch and share the trailer, visit:

"I've known David Johansen for decades, and his music has been a touchstone ever since I listened to the Dolls when I was making Mean Streets," said Scorsese. "Then and now, David's music captures the energy and excitement of New York City. I often see him perform, and over the years I've gotten to know the depth of his musical inspirations. After seeing his show at the Café Carlyle, I knew I had to film it because it was so extraordinary to see the evolution of his life and his musical talent in such an intimate setting."

Framed around an intimate cabaret performance filmed in January 2020 at New York City's storied Café Carlyle, PERSONALITY CRISIS: ONE NIGHT ONLY explores Johansen's enormous influence as he regales the audience with stories and music illuminating the art and cultural evolution of New York City.

Scorsese and David Tedeschi, working with frequent collaborators, cinematographer Ellen Kuras (American Utopia) and producer Margaret Bodde, capture the entertainer's luminous Cafe Carlyle set, where he performs as his alter ego Buster Poindexter singing the songs of David Johansen, bringing downtown irreverence to this storied uptown joint. Presented alongside new and archival interviews, including several filmed by his daughter Leah Hennessey, the concert is marvelously intimate and a testament to both a lost New York and a gifted performer/raconteur who remains as provocative as ever.

Growing up on Staten Island, Johansen landed in the East Village in the late 1960s; a 16-year-old dropped into the epicenter of the counter-cultural revolution in music, theatre, film, fashion, art, writing, and social transformation - a seismic moment that still reverberates today. Johansen's musical career started in the 1970s when he launched the New York Dolls with bandmates Johnny Thunders and Sylvain Sylvain on guitar, Arthur Kane on bass, and Billy Murcia on drums (replaced by Jerry Nolan after Murcia's early death). The band became a blueprint for the punk movement to come, and went on to influence The Ramones, KISS, The Damned, The Smiths, and many others. In the 1980s, Johansen helped to usher in the swing revival as Buster Poindexter and dug deep into the blues with the Harry Smiths in the 1990s. Johansen has had memorable appearances films like Scrooged, Let It Ride, and Freejack. He currently hosts the weekly show David Johansen's Mansion of Fun on Sirius XM.

PERSONALITY CRISIS: ONE NIGHT ONLY made its world premiere at the 2022 New York Film Festival.

The film is produced for SHOWTIME by Imagine Documentaries and Sikelia Productions. Scorsese also serves as a producer alongside Margaret Bodde, Justin Wilkes and Sara Bernstein. Executive producers are Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, Mara Hennessey, Rick Yorn and Vinnie Malhotra.
