Questions answered by Ariana and the Rose.
Q1: Aside from this Quickie, what is the most desperate marketing tactic you plan on using to get bums in seats this August? 280 chars
The vibe is Bette Midler, Cher and Carrie Bradshaw in an NYC disco dive bar! The Breakup Variety Hour is a combo of a pop concert, comedy show and cabaret. Charting 6 steps to get over a breakup through 00s style songs, comedic story telling and audience interaction!
Q2: If your show walked into a cocktail bar, what would it order?
A cosmopolitan, of course! Second options are A Manhattan or an Espresso Martini. She is fab, ready for a night out, probably wearing something with a bit of shine and belly laughing wit her friends. This show is the cocktail equivalent of a fabulous night out with your bffs!
Q3: If your show suddenly developed a massive ego and became the biggest diva in the 2026 Fringe, what absurd, hyper-specific item would be mandatory on its dressing room rider?
Oh this show would be a diva with a capital D. She’d require the dressing room to be turned into a boudoir, equipped with ostrich feather boas, a mirror with tungsten lights so she’s perfect lit, a large velvet chaise-lounge and bowl of cherries. It’d be glamour all the way baby!
Q4: If you brought this show home for the holidays, how would your parents react to them?
They’d say, she’s so funny and she really curses a lot! She’d have the whole room laughing at a story, then would be having a heart to heart with Aunt Estelle in the corner. Then giving dating advice to the love lorn nephew while she’s helping clean the dishes. She’d be a hit!
