Sonja Morgan, star and fan-favorite of Bravo's "Real Housewives of New York City," will make her stage debut in New York's longest running comedy Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man for a limited four-week engagement this October. Scroll down for a sneak peek at her onstage!
Usually the one dishing the tips herself - from sexcapades in hammocks to how to "share" your men - Morgan will be switching positions and handing over the reins as she dons the role of "Robyn" from October 1st through the 22nd at The 777 Theatre (777 Eighth Avenue, between 47th and 48th Streets). She will be joined onstage by Grant MacDermott ("Dan") and Michael Milton ("Stefan").
"I am really excited to put my acting skills to the test in this hilarious romantic comedy," says Morgan. "I've always said the only thing better than making people laugh is making them feel sexy. With this play, I get to do both. I have no doubt my New York stage debut promises to be a climactic affair!"
Sonja Morgan is an Entrepreneur, Luxury Fashion Lifestyle Brand, Film Producer, Writer, Performer, Special Event Creator, Philanthropist, and Mother of a teenage daughter. Long before becoming a household name from her television appearances, Sonja was a mover and shaker amongst New York City high rollers and international jetsetters. Being a lover of the arts, she loves to entertain with her self-named Caburlesque show, a tongue-in-cheek sing song skit frequently seen on "The Real Housewives of NYC," as well as in society pages, and her Sonja in the City events. Sonja's motto is "live each day as if you have nothing to lose and everything to gain." Winner of the 'Best LOL Moment' at the 2015 Bravo Awards, she is known for her sexy, "spit out your wine" brand of humor.
Now in its third smash year Off-Broadway, Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man takes the audience on a hilarious and wild ride where no topic is taboo and the insider 'tips' come straight from the source: a gay man. Directed by Tim Drucker, Sex Tips began performances on January 22, 2014 and opened on February 9, 2014. Sex Tips launched its wildly successful national tour last year with several sold out runs at performing arts centers in Des Moines, IA, Tampa, FL, and Buffalo, NY among others. For the 2016/2017 season, the touring company will set out for more than 18 weeks across several states including Colorado, Florida, Texas, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arkansas, and Tennessee.
Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man, written by Dan Anderson and Maggie Berman and published in 1997, championed the straight girl/gay guy friendship in mainstream pop culture and instantly became a national best-seller. Now a cult classic, the book has also been published in Germany, Japan, Taiwan, Brazil, the Netherlands, Australia, England, and France.
Presented by Matt Murphy and Shawn Nightingale, Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man has scenic design by Luke Cantarella, costume design by Tilly Grimes, lighting design by Brian Tovar, and video and sound design by Randy Blair.
