The American Theatre of Actors Inc

Shangri-La-La: A Comedy Musical About Siegfried &amp; Roy
What happens when two ambitious young immigrants come to America, reinvent themselves in Las Vegas, charm the world, build a rhinestone kingdom at The Mirage, and then discover that even white tigers have limits?
Shangri-La-La is a fast-moving new comedy musical inspired by the rise of Siegfried &amp; Roy — with original songs, Vegas glamour, impossible dreams, outrageous costumes, magic, friendship, immigrant reinvention, Steve Wynn, Bugsy Siegel, and just enough tiger danger to keep everyone alert.
Written by Mike Meier &amp; Peter Giambalvo, the show is part showbiz fairy tale, part immigrant dream, part Vegas fever dream — and, yes, inspired by actual events. Unfortunately.
The New York performances are part of the Midtown International Theater Festival and will take place at the American Theatre of Actors in Midtown Manhattan.
Come for the music. Stay for the magic. Leave with a renewed respect for tigers.
Performances: July 25 and July 26, 2026 Venue: American Theatre of Actors, New York City Tickets: Available through the Midtown International Theater Festival (MITF)/Eventbrite /TheaterMania

One unforgettable night. Two legendary performances. A powerful cause. 
<a href="https://www.fibroidfighters.org/blog/celebrities-use-star-power-to-highlight-fibroid-awareness/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Fibroid Fighters Foundation</a>&nbsp;is thrilled to announce that Grammy-nominated recording artists Jordin Sparks and Brenda K. Starr will headline Your Health in Full Bloom 2026, an inspiring celebration of health, empowerment, and community on&nbsp;July 30, 2026, from 5:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.&nbsp;at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Times Square, New York City. 
For a limited time, attendees can receive <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/jordin-sparks-brenda-k-starr-live-in-nyc-summer-concert-2026-tickets-1989115727687" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">50% OFF admission, with the discount automatically applied at registration.</a> With celebrity appearances, live performances, inspiring conversations, and exclusive experiences all in one evening, tickets are expected to sell quickly. 
More than a concert or health event, Your Health in Full Bloom brings together entertainment, advocacy, and education to create an experience that uplifts, inspires, and empowers every attendee to prioritize their health while celebrating resilience and community. 
Taking center stage is Jordin Sparks, whose chart-topping hits including No Air, Tattoo, and Battlefield helped define a generation after becoming the youngest winner in American Idol history. Beyond her acclaimed music, television, and film career, Sparks has also championed health and wellness initiatives, making her a fitting voice for this year's event. 

Joining her is international recording artist Brenda K. Starr, whose timeless hit I Still Believe remains one of pop music's most iconic ballads. From freestyle sensation to acclaimed Latin music artist, Starr's remarkable journey of perseverance and reinvention reflects the spirit of overcoming challenges and embracing new beginnings. 
The evening will also feature an exciting lineup of celebrity hosts and special guests, including Cynthia Bailey (The Real Housewives of Atlanta), Shereé Whitfield (The Real Housewives of Atlanta), Shay Johnson (Love &amp; Hip Hop: Miami), Toya Johnson (Toya &amp; Reginae), and renowned celebrity makeup artist Kym Lee-King. Together, they will share personal experiences, spark meaningful conversations, and help connect attendees with trusted resources and leading experts. 

"So often, health conversations happen in clinical settings," said Chryl Chambers, Organizer and Head of Marketing. "We're creating something entirely different—a space where entertainment, culture, and information come together under one roof. Guests will hear from recognizable voices, enjoy world-class performances, and leave with access to organizations and experts who can help them navigate important health decisions." 
In addition to performances by Jordin Sparks and Brenda K. Starr, attendees will have opportunities to engage with healthcare advocates, community organizations, and educational exhibitors throughout the evening. The event is designed to make important health information more accessible while creating an enjoyable and memorable experience for guests. 
Hosted by Fibroid Fighters Foundation, the program supports the organization's efforts to increase awareness of uterine fibroids and connect individuals with trusted information and support services. Through events like Your Health in Full Bloom, the Foundation continues to expand the conversation around women's health and encourage earlier diagnosis and treatment.
