The West End premiere and first ever UK tour have been announced for Candace Bushnell's acclaimed one-woman show ‘True Tales of Sex, Success and SEX AND THE CITY'.

The international best-selling novelist – author and creator of TV's iconic TV drama Sex and the City -  takes a whirlwind tour of New York City, sharing her remarkable philosophy through stories of fashion, literature. . . and, of course, sex.  

Following its critically acclaimed New York premiere at the Daryl Roth Theater, ‘True Tales of Sex, Success and SEX AND THE CITY' will get its West End premiere at the London Palladium on Wednesday 7 February, 2024.

Candace's column in the New York Observer inspired the legendary TV series, which went on to win multiple Emmy, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Awards and spawned two box office-busting films. Her books and screen successes redefined modern relationships in the Nineties and Noughties.

This incredible onstage memoir unravels at a quick pace - from Candace's arrival in New York City with just $20 in her pocket, to features in Time Magazine, the New York Times and Variety Magazine, and interviews with Oprah Winfrey.

Always provocative, the literary phenomenon's life story is crafted into an inspirational and entertaining stage show.

So, whether you're a Carrie or a Miranda, a Charlotte or a Samantha, grab yourself a seat, pour yourself a Cosmopolitan and join us in toasting the saucy memoirs of a cultural icon. True Tales of Sex, Success and ‘SEX AND THE CITY'.
