The ultimate Paris Hilton parody with a night of mysterious murders. Who will wind up dead and who will be s'living?
Packing a punch this winter, The Simple Life & Death is set to make its fantastic world premiere, placing a murderous spin on Paris Hilton’s iconic noughties reality show, The Simple Life. As Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie reunite for their exciting 20th anniversary relaunch, things suddenly don’t seem so simple when the lights cut out and a dead body is found! Playing heavily on pop culture from the 00s, audiences can expect a host of exciting celebrity guests: the secrets will be out at the live show!
Striving to dispel the idea that Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are dumb, blonde bimbos, this classic murder mystery show will put this perfect pair to the test, as they try to catch the killer. A queer cabaret that is part-panto, part-sketch comedy, the girls must examine the body, gather evidence and interrogate the suspects, all while trying to stick to the schedule for “The Simple Life: Reunion Special” filmed in front of a live studio audience.
In this brand-new campy, glam murder mystery, writer and founder of The Bitten Peach, an incredible Pan-Asian cabaret collective, ShayShay (Mulan Rouge and The Witches of Oz; The Vaults; Peach Paradise: Redefining Asian Drag, Netflix) will shine as Paris Hilton. Starring alongside them will be comedian and internet sensation Fizz Sinclair (Newsrevue, Canal Café; Mulan Rouge, The Vaults), as Nicole Richie and all other characters.
This hilarious and heartwarming story will be presented through a trans lens. Led by a trans creative team, a transwoman and non-binary femme.
Is there a dress code?
Well obvi there’s a dress code, divas! Step back into the early 2000s and live your Y2K lives. We want to see double denim, velour tracksuits, pink (lots of pink), low rise jeans, pop star glam, rhinestones, mini skirts, cargo pants and baby tees - I mean, you totally get the vibe, diva.
