The real-life Carrie Bradshaw Candace Bushnell to bring her one-woman show ‘True Tales of Sex, Success and SEX AND THE CITY’ to Australia

PAUL DAINTY AO / TEG DAINTY announce the first ever Australian tour of Candace Bushnell’s acclaimed one-woman show ‘True Tales of Sex, Success and SEX AND THE CITY’.

The international best-selling novelist – author and creator of TV’s iconic TV drama Sex and the City – will tour Australia, sharing her remarkable philosophy through stories of fashion, literature, and, of course, sex. Following critically acclaimed tours of the US and UK, ‘True Tales of Sex, Success and SEX AND THE CITY’ will tour Australia in December 2024.

Candace said “I’m so excited to be coming back to Australia. I can’t wait to share True Tales of Sex, Success and Sex and the City with my Aussie Sex and the City fans. They’ll hear about the real Mr. Big, my true-life Sex and the City friends and which parts of the show are real . . . or not real. Grab a cosmo and get ready for a lot of laughs.”

Candace’s column in the New York Observer and the subsequent book Sex and the City was the basis for the legendary TV series, which went on to win multiple Emmy, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Awards and spawned two box office-busting films. Her books and screen successes redefined modern relationships in the Nineties and Noughties.

This incredible onstage memoir unravels at a quick pace – from Candace’s arrival in New York City with just $20 in her pocket, to features in Time Magazine, the New York Times and Variety Magazine, and interviews with Oprah Winfrey.

 

 

Always provocative, the literary phenomenon’s life story is crafted into an inspirational and entertaining stage show. So, whether you’re a Carrie or a Miranda, a Charlotte or a Samantha, grab yourself a seat, pour yourself a Cosmopolitan and join us in toasting the saucy memoirs of a cultural icon.
