VIDEO: Stephen S. Miller Sings His Way Through NYC in World Premiere Music Video of 'Any Dream Will Do'

New York City-based actor and cabaret star Stephen S. Miller, the host of the new internet TV show "The Mama Rose Show," has stepped up to world-renowned composer Andrew Lloyd Webber's challenge to create a cover version of one of his hit songs from any of his musicals through the #HomeIsWhereTheMusicIs #TogetherAtHome challenge that Webber announced earlier this spring on his Facebook page. Strewn in shimmering colorful sequined blazers, Miller fittingly filmed a music video on location throughout Hell's Kitchen and the Upper West Side, with social distancing in mind, for a version of the song "Any Dream Will Do" with lyrics by Tim Rice and composed by Webber for the smash Broadway sensation "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." The World Premiere of Mama Rose's rousing rendition of "Any Dream Will Do" launched today.

In other news, "The Mama Rose Show" recently featured "Sordid Lives" creator/writer/director Del Shores along with "A Very Sordid Wedding" and "Southern Baptist Sissies" star and producer Emerson Collins as guests on the May 22nd episode. On the May 25th episode Mama Rose's guests were "Sordid Lives" stars Ann Walker ("Lavonda"), Rosemary Alexander ("Dr. Eve") and Newell Alexander ("Wardell"). In the first minute of both episodes Miller, as "Mama Rose," does a hilarious skit in which he makes the revelation that he is the long-lost half-brother to Earl "Brother Boy" Ingram, the iconic character that Emmy-winning actor Leslie Jordan popularized. Shores and the cast also plugged the upcoming one-night-only, all-star live stream benefit reading of the original "Sordid Lives" play, which will take place on YouTube and Facebook on Sunday, May 31 at 5pm Pacific/8pm Eastern. The free live stream reading and accompanying auction of "Sordid Lives" memorabilia is a benefit fundraiser for twenty-three live theatre companies who are associated partners of the Del Shores Foundation. Donations to the benefit can be made at www.delshoresfoundation.org.
