If you love dance music and fabulous people get yourself to “Mighty Real: A Fabulous Sylvester Musical” now! The limited run, off-Broadway musical is a must-see for lovers of soul music. The semi-autobiographical piece follows the life and times of 70’s Icon Sylvester who created a world of his very own right in front of our eyes. The story is told by none other than Sylvester himself played by Anthony Wayne. Billed as one last night with the icon, the musical is a 90-minute tribute to Sylvester’s legacy with a soundtrack of his most popular hits, as we as some familiar songs from his favorite divas.
The show chronicles his life from early childhood in California to his rise to stardom and ends in his death. There is no mourning his departure, however, the ending is an explosion of fun and dance with Wayne belting out Sylvester’s biggest hit with the kind of Gusto and reverence that only fans of the original Sylvester can appreciate. If you haven’t heard of Sylvester do your soul a favor and find all of his videos on YouTube. Before there was RuPaul, Madonna, or Lady Gaga there was Sylvester an amazing talent who kept the world on edge with his powerful vocals and in your face style. Ferocious and fiercely fashion-forward from day one Sylvester took over any room he entered. With tickets starting at there is no reason you shouldn’t round-up your favorite people and enjoy a night of pure magic.
The venue is small but that means no matter where you sit you can see the entire stage. The closest seats to the action are only $100 which is a tiny pittance to pay for such talent. Even the background vocalists are amazing! The smaller venue allows for a more intimate experience and Anthony Wayne absolutely captivates his comedic timing was perfect and his passion for the music is evident in every note. His presence engulfs the space as only a true star can. With so many terrible things taking up space in the great white way, (last year’s Jekyll and Hyde immediately comes to mind) why not treat yourself to a fabulous evening and help a great musical raise the funds to keep the music alive. Don’t waste another minute thinking about it. Get to FabulousSylvester.com and order your tickets right now! Be quick about the last show is on October 5th.
