THIS YEAR'S SHOW
THE JACKIE FACTORY's sixteenth annual NIGHT OF A THOUSAND STEVIES will be held on Friday, May 19 at the legendary NYC performance club THE KNITTING FACTORY, scene of the past two editions. Again we promise multiple rooms and floors for your twirling pleasure, including a Stevie-themed lounge and balcony viewing of the Main Stage. This year's theme is STEVIE IN WONDERLAND, an homage to her "Red Stevie/ Stevie In Wonderland" persona, introduced on her 1989 album THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MIRROR. We expect interpretations of many of the great songs from that album (including ALICE, which will open the show). And from a fashion standpoint - if you ever wanted to wear red velvet to NOTS this would be the year for it!
