What Is Show Up!

A Night Where Anything Can Happen

Show Up! is a modern variety show featuring world-class performers, celebrity guests, emerging artists and unexpected moments.

One night might feature a star of a major musical, a chart-topping recording artist and an award-winning comedian.

The next could include a circus act, television personality, drag icon or Broadway performer.

No two shows are ever the same.

The only guarantee is that you’ll leave with a story to tell.
