Brace yourselves for a winter spectacle that’s sure to knock your socks off! “The Simple Life & Death” is making its fabulous world premiere, adding a killer twist to Paris Hilton’s iconic noughties reality show, “The Simple Life.” Just as Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie come together for their thrilling 20th-anniversary relaunch, things take a turn for the not-so-simple when the lights go out and—surprise—a dead body appears! With plenty of nods to 00s pop culture, audiences are in for a treat with an array of exciting celebrity guests. Get ready because at this live show, secrets won’t just spill—they’ll pour out like tea at a posh afternoon gathering!
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, the production will explore the overlap of
noughties pop culture as Paris and Nicole can be said to be a deeply iconic duo to many
burgeoning trans femmes during the 00s. This whimsical production will serve as a positive,
empowering representation for the trans community.
Fizz Sinclair comments, As a trans woman, I often feel drowned by negative statistics, and how
scary & serious the world can feel everyday. I got tired of fighting trolls on the internet and trying
to convince the world that transwomen are not the enemy, and instead, decided to just do what I
do best… be a bit of a class clown. So, I joined forces with ShayShay and we wanted to combine
all the things we love: 00’s pop culture, bad jokes, good jokes, cabaret, comedy… and create
something that we would love to see, love to be in, and something we thought the stages of
2024 needed: iconic blondes solving a murder.
