New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Keishin Armstrong will sell and sign copies of her acclaimed book "Sex and the City and Us: How Four Single Women Changed the Way We Think, Live, and Love" immediately following the Friday, October 26, 2018 7:00 PM performance of Off-Broadway's One Woman Sex and the City. Starring comedic genius Kerry Ipema and directed by co-creator TJ Dawe, the hilarious romp through all six seasons of the iconic series performs at The Jerry Orbach Theatre (1627 Broadway at W 50th St).
Jennifer Keishin Armstrong's "Sex and the City and Us' is a fascinating retrospective of the iconic and award-winning series, "Sex and the City." The acclaimed book tells the story of how a columnist, two gay men, and a writers' room full of women used their own poignant, hilarious, and humiliating stories to launch a cultural phenomenon. They endured shock, slut-shaming, and a slew of nasty reviews on their way to eventual - if often begrudging - respect. The show wasn't perfect, but it revolutionized television for women. "Sex and the City and Us" features exclusive new interviews with the cast and writers, including star Sarah Jessica Parker, creator Darren Star, executive producer Michael Patrick King, and author Candace Bushnell. The book brings both a critical and nostalgic, behind-the-scenes look at a television series that changed the way women see themselves.
On the heels of a successful national tour and a critically acclaimed engagement at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Kerry Ipema brings her "one woman love letter" to Manhattan - the city where it all started. Twenty years after the groundbreaking TV series first premiered on HBO, One Woman Sex and the City takes audiences back to relive the iconic moments from all six seasons of Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda's adventures in New York City. Designed to feel like a brunch date with all your best gal pals, Ipema utilizes her brilliant comedic timing, physicality and impersonations to bring to life the beloved characters and transport audiences on a nostalgic, laughter-infused journey.
"Kerry Ipema's smart, hilarious sendup of 'Sex and the City' is more than a night of fandom - it's a love letter to female relationships," declares the Los Angeles Daily News. The Edinburgh Reporter raves "Ipema switches between the core cast and their love interests with staggering ease. She embodies their mannerisms so well that it often feels like we're watching a cast of characters, not a lone performer." The Winnipeg Free Press also praised Ipema's "impressions, physicality, and comedic timing," while noting that it's her "witty, incisive asides that make One Woman Sex and the City worth the price of admission."
