Big Hair, don’t let me down by falling down!
Tease it HIGH!
HEY KITTENS!
OK, so I’m thinking of wearing a jean jacket with many buttons as well as teasing my hair, slapping on the jelly bracelets and being in HEAVEN!~ I can’t tell you how excited I am to be in an 80’s show and with Three Cat Media ME-OW. We know I love Madonna, so yea, that’s totally happening, but Bon Jovi, Pat Benatar, Cyndi Lauper… holy crap kids I am sooooooooooooooo warm and fuzzy and shopping for enough Aqua Net to make it all happen. I will be 14 again and being super serious about the lead singer of the Stray Cats. Oh the hours of diary time spent on Brian Setzer, you have no idea. Not to mention my entire thing with Peter Delewuise. Yes, Dom’s son who was on 21 Jump Street on the new network FOX.
My sister was the coolest and I just wanted to have fun. You must come. This could get out of hand and you all need to be there to catch me when the weight of my hair knocks me out!
You are coming to Hydrate to SEE ME! Holy Tomato, Melissa’s finally made it to Boystown!! My dreams are coming true. Every Tuesday in January (5, 12, 19 & 26) You can see me with the Chicago Cabaret Project’s Voltaire Cabaret Tuesdays, 9pm Cover $10. I’ll be hosting and singing my butt off. I have also been told there will be dancing and I have it on good authority that Rus “Carol Channing” Rainier and I may even (gasp) sing together!
Lucky Star is a tribute show that dares to ask such musical questions as: What if Madonna met Disney to revamp “Papa Don’t Preach?” or if the next hit show on Broadway was Material Girl: the musical? Jazz, Country, Swing, and even Reggae all meet Madonna, America’s most loved and hated pop icon.
Celebrate the 40 anniversary of Stonewall and follow the Gay Rights timeline, matching Icons to significant moments in Gay history, ending at the Equal Marriage fight of today. Judy Garland and Stone Wall. Dolly Parton’s Light of the Clear Blue Morning in 1977 aligns with Anita Bryant and the S.O.C. Bette Midler’s Do You Wanna Dance and Friends aligns with a post Stonewall New York (1971-73) of Bathhouses and Gay owned Discos. The creation of the Gay Pride flag 1979/80 and Diana Ross’ I’m Coming Out! 12 Icons in all, including Melissa’s own icon, Madonna. Teaming again with Lucky Star collaborators Daryl Nitz, co-creator of the longest running cabaret show in Chicago history (The Nitz-Howe Experience) as well as the “best party in town” directs, with Mark Burnell, a long-time Chicago pianist in and out of the jazz and cabaret world plays and musical directs. Not to be missed.
