XOXO: Love Letters from NYC

A Musical Revue About Love, Loss, Letting Go, and Loving Again The curtain has fallen, the cast party is in full swing, and The Ingenue stands at a crossroads—leaving showbiz, leaving New York, leaving behind the life they once thought they’d never walk away from. As the night unfolds, the past and present blur, and the faces of the city—the friendships, the heartbreaks, the late-night confessions—come rushing back, one last time. Told through a dazzling cabaret-variety show fusion of live music, dance, musical theater, comedy, and circus arts, 'XOXO: Love Letters from NYC' is a vibrant and bittersweet reflection on what it means to chase dreams, find love, and say goodbye to a place that’s shaped you. The show features all original music by Sturkey & Studabaker and choreography and direction by Andrea Palesh and Melissa Buriak. (if that's too long, please just use the last paragraph, thanks!)

Ten-tickles My Fancy

I loved the fabulous and sexy dancers and outfits matching up with a great variety of fun, high energy original music. Jackson Sturkey was really putting it out there singing his songs with the girls! Makes you want to join the party and have what he's having! And the dancers obviously put a lot of effort into their moves, they had a whole host of moves to show up, real professional.

Don't miss one of their shows, you get the best of New York, in an intimate environment!

See It Again

I attended the 2nd to last show of XOXO: Love Letters at Wild Project, NYC! DISCLOSURE: I am a big fan of Jackson Sturkey and tonight I was blown away! The show is high energy, brilliantly choreographed, and anchored by Jackson's larger than life talent, XOXO is the perfect reason why we go to the theater: to feel a spark of a dream in real-time. The songs were catchy, the crowd was cheering and we were all in agreement...we wanted more! It truly was the perfect night to share with
