True Tales of Sex, Success and SEX AND THE CITY

Candace Bushnell is a best-selling novelist, TV producer, and, most recently, the star of her own one-woman show, the critically acclaimed True Tales of Sex, Success and Sex and the City. Originally performed off-Broadway at the Daryl Roth Theater, the New York Times declared it a “critic’s pick.” Bushnell is now performing an international version that has received standing ovations, most recently in Cape Town and Johannesburg, proclaiming that Bushnell left “the audience mesmerized by her brilliant performance.”

In her new one-woman show, New York icon Candace Bushnell, the international best-selling novelist and creator of Sex and the City takes the audience on a whirlwind tour of New York City, from Studio 54 to the Lipstick jungle and beyond, sharing her remarkable stories of fashion, literature and sex while pouring cosmos in Manolos. Grab your Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte and join the OG Carrie Bradshaw for a Girls’ Night Out!Bushnell’s onstage memoir proceeds at a quick clip. When she emerged from puberty flat-chested, her father said soberly, “I’m afraid no man is ever going to love you.” (“Thanks, Dad.”) She climbed off the bus to Manhattan in a Loehmann’s outfit picked out by her mother, hoping to write her way to a Pulitzer. She landed her first byline with a wry piece on how to behave at Studio 54. (“If someone dies, ignore them.”) She met her Mr. Big, and then he dumped her just as she published the book “Sex and the City” in 1996,
which would upend how readers, and later viewers, thought about women and sex.
