After a sold out Soho Theatre preview, a successful 5-star run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and a sold out run at the Camden People’s Theatre, A STAN IS BORN! is thrilled to be back in London for a residency run at Riverside Studios from 10-29 May!
***** Reviews Hub - "Sakellaris is a brilliant musician. The absolute highlight of the show is their exceptional singing ability."
**** Culture Fix - "A personal narrative that resonates with anyone who's ever found strength in the stars they adore"
Written and performed by Alexis Sakellaris and directed by Madison Cole, this is an original musical comedy romp about the art and power of stanning. Born in New York City as a closeted kid, Alexis is forced to follow his family to... rural Germany. Ugh. Diva down. Discovering women online is his only salvation: Céline, Whitney, Mariah, Beyonce, Aretha... you name em, he got em. They are his MOTHERS. They teach Alexis everything he knows and he becomes an EXPERT on them, setting him on the path to finding his own inner diva. With 10 original songs, sung and played live on keyboard, Alexis shares the queer joy he discovered in stanning, while also confronting the hardships (somehow being obsessed with women makes you... gay?! News to me...)
Join Alexis as he navigates the culture clash and finds out what it truly means to be a stan... and how it may not be so good for you after all. Does this queer Bo Burnham have what it takes to be... a lil gay diva?!
***** Binge Fringe - "Pure, unescapable, authetic queer joy at its best"
***** Fringe Biscuit - "A natural-born performer… Alexis doesn't just know how to stan divas - he *is* one."
