BIG HAIR AND SHOW BIZ STORIES
The Stilettos rule at The Pub with host Sharde Ross and guests Mya Valentine, Lady Dominique, Alyssa Lemay, and Candy R. Cox. The Kravis welcomes Marc Shaiman with his one-man show, Never Mind the Happy: Showbiz Stories from a Sore Winner. Shaiman is a renowned gay composer, lyricist, arranger, and music producer known for his work across film, television, and theater (Hairspray, Some Like It Hot, Smash). Part showbiz tell-all, part love letter to the melancholy that fuels creativity, told with perfect comic timing — along with a few wrong notes and plenty of standing ovations.
