Life Be Lifin’ Starring Monét X Change

Salt Lake City, UT - Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center

OBSESSED presents Life Be Lifin’ Starring Monét X Change May 7th, 2024 at 8pm Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center Jeanné Wagner Theatre Monét X Change never wanted to be a drag queen. She never wanted to be an opera singer either. Now an R&B singing, theatre writing, comedic triple threat, Monét explains on stage with just herself and a mic how she became those exact things. With the ability to make audiences cry as quickly as she makes them laugh, Monét X Change guides her audiences through a poignant, darkly humorous coming-of-age story in her newest one woman show, “Life Be Lifin.’” Directed by BenDeLaCreme 18+ VIP Upgrade packages available at www.obsessedwith.co *** Born and bred in New York City, Monét X Change is an entertainment spitfire with an empire that includes television, podcasts, live entertainment, and a wealth of different recorded music from opera to R&B. Discovered for her talents on RuPaul’s DragRace, Monét quickly made history within the franchise by winning Miss Congeniality (season 10) and becoming the first queen of color inducted into the Hall of Fame after winning All-Stars 4 and competing on All-Stars 7. Monét’s showmanship is a reflection of a tireless work ethic to cultivate her comedic chops and (mostly) pitch-perfect live singing skills. Before her All-Stars win was even announced in 2018 Monét hit the ground running with her podcast Sibling Rivalry, co- hosted by Bob The Drag Queen, a television show (The X Change rate), landing her own cover shoot for New York Magazine, and touring her first one-woman show, “Call Me By Monét”. Monét unites her impeccable writing skills and performance chops again to deliver her new one-woman show, “Life be Lifin”. This poignant, darkly humorous narrative of her life and coming of age is captivating audiences across the world. Met with rave reviews from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where it originated, friends and fans can catch the show upcoming on her North American tour.

We Three

Salt Lake City, UT - The State Room

The State Room Wed May 8 The Love Me Tour We Three with SkyDxddy We Three the Oregon alt-pop trio – siblings Manny, Bethany and Joshua Humlie – have already built a passionate global fanbase with their anthemic, emotive and life-affirming songs: they have 1.4 million TikTok followers, an audience they cultivated during the pandemic, and their music has received more than 250 million streams. But "Love Me" is their richest, rawest and hardest-hitting work yet. For frontman and primary songwriter Manny, the album title is a "smallphrase" that gives a "huge insight" into the record's themes. We Three are now a globally popular act selling out shows all over the world, but like so many bands, they started out gigging in and around their hometown – McMinnville, Oregon, a small city 40 miles southwest of Portland. They first came to wider attention in 2018 when they entered 'America's Got Talent' and stormed all the way to the semi-finals. We Three used 'America's Got Talent' as aspringboard and never looked back. They have since released three previous studio albums: 2018's 'We Three,' 2020's 'Dear Paranoia, Sincerely Me' and 2022's 'Happy' – and built a reputation for singing sensitively and insightfully about difficult topics including mental health issues. 'Sara,' their most streamed song to date, is a haunting portrait of a young woman struggling with self-harm, substance abuse and depression. As for the band's collective fantasy: it's simply to continue their forward momentum. "I always want us to move to a bigger level while staying genuine," Manny says. "I want us to grow and I believe this album has the songs that will help us do that.
