Performances will take place March 21st, 23rd, and April 6th.
Mama's Next Big Act finalist and NYC native Avery Nusbaum is celebrating her ongoing transition and she's inviting audiences to her gender reveal party! "It's a Girl!" chronicles Avery's journey with gender through songs like "Nothing Short of Wonderful" from Dogfight the Musical, a medley of guy songs she used to sing pre-transition, and pop music such as Elton John's Rocket Man. Join Avery for a magical romp through topics of gender theory, romance, and owning one's authenticity. See the performer adorned in sparkles that her family calls "wacky" and "wonderfully talented".
