2. Candace Bushnell: True Tales of Sex, Success, and Sex and the City

In her new one-woman show, New York icon Candace Bushnell, the international best-selling novelist and creator of Sex in the City takes the audience on 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.

The event proved to be a sensational evening, bringing together fans of the hit TV show and lovers of Bushnell’s iconic work.” – Galore SA Media

“A celebration of Candace Bushnell’s career and the importance and beauty of being a modern, independent woman. The show is uplifting, hilarious and blunt – and the chance to see the women who started it all in the flesh was an honour of the highest order” — Theatre & Tonic
