Dancer, actor, and 80’s pop star Tiffany will be making her New York theatrical debut on Off-Broadway in September with the musical “Spandex”.
The show is set for an extremely limited engagement of less than one month.
Playing at the Asylum NYC, the aerobics themed show begins September 17 with an official opening on Septem 19 and a closing date of September 27.
“Spandex” tells the story of Linda Gufstafson (Tiffany), her aerobics instructor, and prodigy who try to “best their boss at the 1988 Crystal Light National Aerobics Championship”.
Tiffany spoke on the musical via statement saying, “stepping onto the Off-Broadway stage in Spandex The Musical feels like a true full-circle moment for me. B efore music came into my life, I was a dancer and an actor, and those dreams were put on hold when ‘I Think We’re Alone Now’ took off and my recording career began. I’ve always believed the right role would find me, and the moment I read the script, I knew Linda was that character. Just as Linda discovers a new passion through aerobics that changes her life, I’ve found exciting new passions beyond music through my Pop Life cookbook, Let’s Food With Tiffany events, and, now, returning to acting on stage. It’s a reminder that it’s never too late to reinvent yourself. There are so many wonderful parallels between Linda’s journey and my own, and I’m thrilled the producers have even woven in some fun Tiffany Easter eggs that I know longtime fans are going to love.”
She continued, “making my Off-Broadway debut with such a funny, heartfelt, and uplifting show is truly a dream come true. I’m also incredibly proud that Spandex The Musical is partnering with Children’s Miracle Network, with a portion of the proceeds helping children and families in need. Giving back has always been close to my heart, so being able to combine my love of performing with a cause that means so much to me makes this experience even more special. I can’t wait for audiences to experience the laughs, the music, the ’80s nostalgia, and, of course, plenty of spandex!”
