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

The fun doesn’t stop with the show! Each performance will include a pre-show South Coast Plaza shopping experience on-site at SCR, plus a VIP reception, themed cocktails (cosmos, anyone?) and plenty of opportunities for fashionable photos with friends. Plus, a limited number of VIP Meet & Greet tickets are available for each performance—don’t miss your chance for an exclusive champagne meet & greet and photo opportunity with Candace Bushnell herself after the show.
