Our good friend Ryan Raftery is bringing back his hit musical Ryan Raftery is the Most Powerful Woman in Fashion for only two special performances at Feinstein’s/54 Below in New York City.
The shows will be on April 27 & 28 at 7PM, and all profits from the performance on the April 27 will go to the Trevor Project. Fundraising will be complemented by an online auction of fashion-related items, including a $1000 gift certificate to Bergdorf Goodman Men’s AND Anna’s signature Chanel glasses donated by Ms. Wintour herself! 100% of the proceeds from the auction also go to the Trevor Project.
From the press release:
The show plays Feinstein’s/54 Below (254 West 54th Street) on April 27 and 28 at 7pm. There is a $25-$75 cover charge and $25 food and beverage minimum. Tickets and information are available at www.54Below.com. Tickets on the day of performance after 4:00 are only available by calling (646) 476-3551.
Anna Wintour has ruled a $300 billion industry for twenty-six years – her power and influence cannot be denied. But the day she places the infamous Kanye West and Kim Kardashian on the cover of her magazine, the backlash is harsh and for the first time, her credibility is called into question. Through popular music and an astounding measure of creative license, Raftery returns to Feinstein’s/54 Below to tell the story of one fateful day in the life of the most powerful woman in fashion.
The show premiered in 2014 to much fanfare, with coverage in the New York Times, WWD, New York Magazine, Paper, I-D and international features in Grazia France and UK’s Daily Mail. The show has played several cities in the U.S. and has plans to travel to London in the coming year.
Direction is by Jay Turton with musical direction by Brandon James Gwinn – also starring Miranda Wilson and Romelda Teron Benjamin as Andre Leon Talley.
