South African fans of the American cult book, movie and television series Sex and the City can soon pull on their heels and Cosmopolitan mixed drinks for a unique performance by this series’ creator, Candace Bushnell.
Showtime SA recently announced that Bushnell’s successful solo show, True Tales of Sex, Success and Sex in the Citywill be presented in September in Johannesburg and Cape Town.
In this production, the author takes audiences on a stylish whirlwind tour of her successful career and exciting life in New York.
She also shares some of her own tips, secrets and anecdotes while pouring pink cocktails.
Sex and the City began as a newspaper column that Bushnell for The New York Observer wrote from 1994 to 1996. It later became a book and an extremely successful TV series starring Sarah Jessica Parker.
Two full length Sex and the Citymovies, as well as a new HBO television series, And Just Like Thatfollowed later.
The character of Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker in this series, was inspired by Bushnell’s own experiences in New York and is often considered her alter ego.
True Tales of Sex, Success and Sex in the City can be seen from 22 to 24 September in Johannesburg in Montecasino’s Teatro and from 29 September to 1 October in the Kunstekaap Theater Center in Cape Town.
Tickets are on sale at Ticketmaster.
