Broadway's Frankie James Grande returns to his home town of New York with his one-man show "Living La Vida Grande" at the Laurie Beechman Theater this weekend, September 13th-15th, 2013.
His career has taken him from performer to producer to internet sensation, adding up to a life that's extremely entertaining, extremely diverse, and extremely Grande! From his time on Broadway to working with Jude Law to his relationship with Amanda Bynes and his love for Justin Bieber--no subject is off limits.
After his making his Broadway debut in Mamma Mia, Grande won the title of Mr. Broadway 2007, produced Jude Law's Hamlet on Broadway, founded the non-profit arts empowerment organization Broadway in South Africa, became a social media mogul, won the title of Mr. New York, and recently got off tour with Justin Bieber and Grande's sister, platinum-selling pop sensation Ariana Grande. He decided to blog and document his many journeys for his own YouTube channel, inspired by his dear friend Colleen Ballinger, otherwise know as Miranda Sings. After only a few months his YouTube channel exploded and Grande found himself a finalist in the RyanSeacrest.com "Favorite YouTube Personality" competition and now has over 121,000 subscribers and over 5 million total uploaded views, all in the past year. With his 345,000 Twitter followers, 304,000 Instagram followers, 228,000 Keek followers and his YouTube following, Grande is quickly becoming a household name. It is with great pride that he returns to the stage with this witty, heartfelt, warm and of course hysterical musical journey through the insanity that it is to be Frankie James Grande.
Living La Vida Grande is directed by Jen Bender with musical direction by Joshua Steven Kartes. The evening will also feature Emma Hunton, Dominic Crossey, and Lauren Strigari.
