After spending the last three years creating, producing, and hosting the successful recurring benefit series, Robin's Nest, performer Robin Westle, is thrilled to be re-entering the territory of the solo show with her new creation, The Adventures of Taffy Longvue, a show about finding your own FABULOUSNESS. Taffy is none other than Robin's inner drag persona, and this playful side of Westle thinks it's about time that the closeted Taffy came out into the sunlight and into her own. Taffy has a mission - and it is, of course, fabulosity for all!

In contrast to Westle's very popular philanthropically-based Robin's Nest cabaret shows, which support the HelpUsAdopt organization, The Adventures of Taffy Longvue is an exploration of the very personal side of Westle. "The name Taffy Longvue came out of a conversation I had with a friend about a drag show I'd just seen," she reveals. That exchange was about finding your own drag name. Out of that, an idea began to take form. "The more I thought about that conversation," Westle adds, "the more I began going down paths of self-exploration. I came to realize there was something profound inside me that needed to find outside expression."

Through song and through charming, witty and insightful narrative, The Adventures of Taffy Longvue, is not only about how Westle found her own fabulous deeper self, but how you can too! Westle and the Taffy side of her persona are fun and fanciful and of course, one hundred percent FABULOUS!

The Adventures of Taffy Longvue, a show about finding your own FABULOUSNESS is directed by the award-winning producer-performer-director, Eric Michael Gillett (who also directed Westle's two prior solo shows, WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME? and NO REGRETS). Music Director is the very talented, Andrew David Sotomayor.

The Adventures of Taffy Longvue plays Monday, February 27 & Thursday, March 9, 2017 7 PM, The Laurie Beechman Theater,407 West 42nd Street, New York, NY.
There is a $20 music charge and $20 food/beverage minimum.
