That maven of fabulousness is back! Robin Westle, the creator, producer and host of the successful recurring benefit series, Robin's Nest, is thrilled to be returning with her solo show, The Adventures of Taffy Longvue, a show about finding your own FABULOUSNESS.

Taffy is Robin's inner drag persona, the playful side of Westle, who made her boffo debut in February 2017 to critical acclaim. Now the in-demand Taffy has even more to share about her life's mission - fabulosity for all! The Adventures of Taffy Longvue is a joyous, positive entertainment, featuring glorious music from Sondheim to Duncan Shiek to Lady Gaga to the Spice Girls, with fabulous backup singing by Megan Dorn and Rin Allen.

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 - something positive and happy-making - that needed to find outside expression."

Through song and through charming, witty and insightful narrative, The Adventures of Taffy Longvue, Westle recaps how she found her own fabulous deeper self, and shares new insights into how everyone 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, with bassist Tom Hubbard and percussionist Arei Sekiguchi.

The Adventures of Taffy Longvue, Sundays, October 22 at 8 PM and October 29 at 7 PM at Don't Tell Mama, 343 West 46th St., New York, NY. Reservations at 212-7757-0788 or online at www.donttellmamanyc.com.
