Ryan Raftery Concludes TITANS OF MEDIA: MARTHA STEWART at Joe's Pub 2/12
By: A.A. Cristi Feb. 02, 2018
Ryan Raftery, creator and star of the smash hit Anna Wintour and Andy Cohen musicals, returns to Joe's Pub to premiere the final show in his "Titans of Media" trilogy based on the tale of America's first self-made female billionaire. The final two performances are February 11, 12. Tickets are available here: https://publictheater.org/Tickets/Calendar/PlayDetailsCollection/Joes-Pub/2017/R/Ryan-Raftery/?SiteTheme=JoesPub
The show opened in August of 2017 and has played eight consecutive sold out performances as well as a sold-out run in Los Angeles. The show will travel to Provincetown and San Francisco this summer.
"The Rise and Fall (and Rise) of Martha Stewart" tells the fascinating story of the woman who changed the way we live our lives by daring us to try harder. From her humble beginnings in Nutley, New Jersey to her empire-building years in Westport, Connecticut, to her highly-publicized stint in federal prison, this is a chronicle of epically blind ambition set to the music of artists as varied as Beyonce, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Adele and Metallica.
A native New Yorker and graduate of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, Ryan Raftery has been seen on television in Ugly Betty, What I Like About You, Malcolm in the Middle, and, most memorably, on Law & Order: SVU where he warmed hearts all across America as Dennis Faber, the Amish teenager with measles. He has written eight shows, including the aforementioned Wintour and Cohen musicals as well as Ryan Raftery & Friends: A Solo Act, Ryan Raftery's It Gets Worse and Ryan Raftery: King of the Jews.
