CANDACE BUSHNELL
TRUE TALES OF SEX, SUCCESS AND SEX AND THE CITY

A benefit performance for South Coast Repertory

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 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.

Running Time: Approximately 90 minutes with no intermission

Recommendation: Ages 16 and up


Reviews for Candace Bushnell

“#1 Critics Choice, The Best Thing We’ve Seen This Week!”
The Times

“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”
Theatre & Tonic

“One minute Candace Bushnell is dropping gossip tastier than the first Cosmo of the night, next she’s tossing scrunchies into the audience with gay abandon. …  It is wonderfully written, demonstrating the skills that brought Bushnell so much success.”
Theatre Weekly

“This show is well-written, the format is brilliant and the technical aspects are fantastic. Candace Bushnell is a warm and witty performer who seems completely at home on the stage”
BroadwayWorld UK

“An evening of pure joy and entertainment”
First Night Magazine

“Like having a private chat over cocktails, Candace Bushnell is candid and conversational, inclusive, witty. She’s having a great time on stage and it is clear that the real secret to Bushnell’s success is herself.”
