Bestselling author and the real-life Carrie Bradshaw, Candace Bushnell, is bringing her critically acclaimed one-woman show “Is There Still Sex in the City?” to Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center on July 9 at 8 PM. Billed as the ultimate girls night, Bushnell takes the audience on a splashy trip down memory lane, dishing on all things love, life, and New York City — all while pouring Cosmos in Manolos. Her story wraps up in Sag Harbor, a fitting connection to the East End.
Bushnell’s glamorous Manhattan lifestyle is the basis for the hit show “Sex and the City,” but her new work focuses on the next chapter of her life. Whereas “Sex and the City” infused Bushnell’s 30-year-old persona into that of a young Carrie Bradshaw, “Is There Still Sex In the City?” stars Bushnell as her present self, recounting stories from the post-SATC chapter of her life. She’s still sipping drinks in designer clothes, but she’s also wiser having undergone a divorce at age 50 and settled in the Hamptons.
Additional highlights at WHBPAC this summer include comedienne Whitney Cummings and her Touch Me Tour on July 1 at 8 PM. “The Touch Me tour will be a big ol’ party and celebration of LIFE!” reads the show’s description.
The packed program of events also includes Chris Isaak, Lyle Lovett and his Large Band, Jay Leno, Keb’ Mo’, Kelli O’Hara, and more.
