Hollywood’s notorious bad boy Charlie Sheen is making a “winning” stop in Patchogue next month.
The unpredictable actor will bring his “Alive on Stage” tour to the Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts on Friday, Oct. 17, giving Long Island an up-close look at the man whose personal life and career have been as chaotic as they have been captivating.
Tickets range from $50 to $161, with sales beginning this Friday. An autographed book add-on will be available.
Tickets for Patchogue’s “Alive on Stage” show go on sale first to PTPA members and artists on Thursday at 10 a.m., with the public able to purchase tickets starting on Friday at 10 a.m. Tickets will be available online here.
Sheen first broke through in Hollywood during the 1980s with star-making turns in films such as “Platoon,” “Wall Street,” “Red Dawn” and “Young Guns.” He later became one of television’s highest-paid actors as the lead on the hit sitcom “Two and a Half Men.”
But Sheen’s professional highs were often overshadowed by well-publicized struggles with addiction, turbulent relationships and legal troubles. Now 59, he has spent recent years reflecting on that tumultuous past while charting a path to sobriety, which he says he has maintained since 2017.
Sheen reintroduces himself
This month, Sheen reintroduced himself to the public through two major releases: his memoir, “The Book of Sheen,” and a Netflix documentary, “aka Charlie Sheen.” Both works further peel back the curtain on his turbulent journey, offering revelations that range from his HIV diagnosis in 2015 to blunt admissions about substance-fueled behavior.
Sheen is perhaps more candid than ever in the two-part documentary — in which he details flying a plane drunk with hundreds of passengers aboard and “shoving” an ice cube up his butt to help him stay awake on a movie set.
In the documentary, Sheen also recounts how a phone call from Clint Eastwood nudged him into his first stint in rehab back in 1990, and he forcefully denies long-standing allegations raised by fellow actor Corey Feldman, calling them “a piece of vile fiction.”
