The Hit Holiday Musical that has been
bringing Joy to critics and audiences in Miami is making the short sleigh ride
north to Ft. Lauderdale for a limited engagement!

CARBONELL AWARD WINNER for BEST ACTOR IN A MUSICAL –  E.L. Losada

leads a cast of
talented performers and local celebrities. Audience favorites
Edison (Party Promoter Supreme)
Farrow and
David (Author/Personality)
Leddick, appear as GABE the Special
Elf and ARTHUR the erudite Angel. They are joined onstage by
Deco Drive Diva, Daisy Deadpetals
as CARLO/CARLOTTA! In a rare “out of drag appearance,” Daisy and her alter ego

Nadeen Holloway (CARBONELL NOMINEE), Brian Ricci, Andy Rogow, David Sexton and

IT’S A FABULOUS LIFE
is a take off on the Christmas classic, IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE. The lead
character, Joe, is having a very rough holiday season, writing and starring in
"The Lavender Players" production of RANDOLPH THE RAINBOW REINDEER. Family
tensions and backstage backstabbing cause him to wish he had never been born
GAY! An angel comes and shows him how things would be different if he had been
straight! Along the way he encounters buff boys (WARNING!
BRIEF ESKIMO NUDITY!) drag queens, unusual elves, even a heavenly
Gospel Choir and he starts to look at being gay in a whole new way.

Written by local
author, David (THE
NATURE OF THE BEACH) Sexton,
FAB LIFE was originally a script to accompany
The
South Beach Gay Men’s Chorus‘ 2001
Christmas Concert. So many people asked him about it that he was inspired to
flesh the concert script out into a real musical, complete with original songs
– lyrics by Mr. Sexton, music by Albert
(PAGEANT)
Evans with Eric Alsford and Andrew
Sargent.

Returning to
direct the show is Broadway Director Robert
Johanson. Mr. Johanson is known for directing famous faces in
familiar favorites. Having helmed the renowned WIZARD OF OZ at Madison Square
Garden with Roseanne and the
National Tour starring Eartha Kitt
and Mickey Rooney, as well as
FOLLIES with Ann Miller, MAME
with Christine Ebersole, and
ANYTHING GOES with Chita Rivera,
Mr. Johanson is thrilled to be back in Florida with the show he helped make
such a success last year.
