Brandonna Summer, Healing Through Living
It's not just a show, it's a healing. Brandonna Summer is back to tell the truth on herself, her family, and especially, Jeff Goldblum. You'll laugh, you'll cry... from laughing so hard and, most importantly, you'll heal. As this force of nature takes the stage, her original songs, couture fashions, and legs for days will breathe life back into your tired spirit. Who knew living could feel this good?!
Brandonna is thrilled to be gracing the Cavern Club Celebrity Theatre with her luminous presence. After a wildly successful run at the 2016 New York Fringe festival with her original musical "Brandonna Summer Lives, Live", the Empress of Self-Empowerment is back with a brand new show full of never before heard songs, stories, and most importantly, never before seen fashions.
The world is falling apart and our leading lady wont deny it. But that doesn't mean we can't put ourselves back together in the meantime. As Brandonna illuminates every twist of her past, each stormy love affair, she comes closer to discovering the truth of who she really is. From her high school boyfriend Jimmy Katz to Jeff Goldblum to Jose Ramon (the second most powerful drug lord in Venezuela), Brandonna bares all-- leaving no stone unturned, no story untold. With the help of her Angels, the ghost of her mother and, of course, herself, Brandonna faces her past head on and marches confidently into the future. Learn with this living legend as she discovers for herself what Healing Through Living really means.
Brandonna Summer, Healing Through Living runs 85 minutes without intermission.
