David Bowie was a magical chameleon: the original "Space Oddity," "Ziggy Stardust," and the "Man Who Fell to Earth." He was a singer, an actor, a trendsetter, and an icon. His passing left fans of all ages in shock and mourning. His legacy, however, lives on. Through all the ch-ch-changes of life his music will continue to pave the way for "Heroes" of all ages searching for "Modern Love." Now some of Broadway and cabaret's top talents come together to pay tribute to the man who taught them how to cope "Under Pressure" in the "Labyrinth" of life. Produced and directed by Scott Coulter.
Back by popular demand! This "musically thrilling" undie-rock, comedy-pop duo don't just strip down their musical arrangements, they literally strip down to their underwear to perform their distinctive mashups and eccentric originals for cello and ukulele, with touches of glockenspiel, melodica, and a surprising array of under-used instruments. Award-winning singer-actors Lauren Molina (Marry Me a Little, Sweeney Todd, Rock of Ages) and Nick Cearley (All Shook Up) became YouTube sensations as The Skivvies, with living room videos that displayed their powerful harmonies as well as their powerful abs. They will be joined by special guest stars who will strip down and rock out. Expect a hilarious evening of genre-hopping pop perfection.
