NIGHT OF 1000 STEVIES - the largest and most beloved STEVIE NICKS fan event in the world - returns to New York City's IRVING PLAZA on May 1 for its twenty-fifth annual edition. This marathon evening - produced by THE JACKIE FACTORY - is one of those great New York City spectacles that spark travel from all around the globe. The title of this milestone edition and retrospective - TIMELESS - describes both The Goddess Nicks and the show at its quarter-century mark.

Many of the 25th year cast have been invited to reprise one of their most iconic performances from past editions. These rare highlights will include VANGELINE THEATER's breathtaking BEAUTY AND THE BEAST butoh ballet, the epic RED ROCKS STAND BACK homage from THE HO-HOS (CATHY CERVENKA and JILL PANGALLO) and a half-dozen more. Other "Returning Legends of Stevie Realness" at this writing are longtime crowd favorites SHERRY VINE, JAZMEN FLOWERS (Mississipi), AMBER MARTIN, MACHINE DAZZLE, HEATHER LITTEER, ST. EVE, JOHNNY QUINLAN, DARRELL THORNE, and POISON EVE. Our newer arrivals from the past five years are presently THE RACHEL KLEIN THEATRE, XAVIER and BRIDGET BARKAN, DARLINDA JUST DARLINDA and SLEVY NICKS and FLEETWOOD MAXX.

This year's debut performers and ensembles will include WHAT TIME IS IT, MR. FOX? (BOSTON) fronted by 3RIAN KING (they describe their sound as "smoky cabaret, neo-soul and acoustic noir"), Brooklyn-based experimental rock band IT WAS ROMANCE and its Stevie Princess LANE MOORE, and BATH SALTS nightlife creatrix SEVERELY MAME. Show founder CHI CHI VALENTI returns to preside along with her fellow ENCHANTRESSES OF CEREMONY including HATTIE HATHAWAY and EDITRIX ABBY and this year's superstar DJ crew includes SAMMY JO, founding producer JOHNNY DYNELL, CRAIG SPENCER and VJ TRE (D.C.) who opens the evening with a marvelous hour of his rare multimedia and mixes.

SUGGESTED DRESS: Your Greatest NOTS Costuming (1991 to Present), Surrealistic Stevie, Victorian Timepieces, Beltane High Priestess Glamour, Classic Fleetwood "The Dance", Lace and Paper Flowers, Important Capes, Dickensian Street Urchin, Best Hair In Rock 'N Roll, Moon Motifs, Enchanted Eveningwear or Bird of Rhiannon vs White Winged Dove. BYOT - Bring Your Own Tambo (Though of course we'll be throwing ours!)

Neither a contest nor a karaoke show, NOTS is the Stevie Nicks celebration ne plus ultra - a riot of shawls, lace, baby's breath, twirling, tambourines and great performance. The much-loved annual was born in 1991 at the tiny performance venue MOTHER at their weekly JACKIE 60. NOTS and its passionate audience inspired the feature film GYPSY 83 and even a "Jeopardy" question. Through the years NOTS has featured celebrated performers including DEBBIE HARRY, JUSTIN VIVIAN BOND, BOY GEORGE, THE CRYSTAL ARK, BASIL TWIST, CYNDI LAUPER, VANGELINE THEATER, JOEY ARIAS and many more. It has also launched generations of NOTS "Legends of Stevie Realness" including founding performer DEAN JOHNSON, perennial showstoppers THE HO-HOs and so many more.

OMG, what song did Cyndi Lauper do at NOTS??? I wish I could go.

I hope people do stuff off of 24k. Such a good album.

Do you think people will be doing a lot of stuff from 24K Gold?

I sure hope so! I will be there. I had hoped that this year's theme would be "24KG." :woohoo:

I thought it would be 24K Gold too. The album is Stevie back in her great form.

have fun everyone

Got my TIX!

So, everyone will reprise a number done in years gone by? I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with. If we look back at what everyone has done we can at least see what the possibilities are. So far, set list looks like the usual lineup of the NOTS icons. I'm always really excited about the debuts too though. But speacking of the icons, hum, can we talk

Hubba hubba

I knew that first picture reminded me of something. This 1

This should be about 24k gold. The album deserves that. Very disappointed.

That woman looks better than Stevie!

Ummmm....NO! Pretty sure he's a dude.

1st new video edit complete for NOTS 25. :)

I Can't Wait! Bought our tics last night. :nod:

Yes! That looks so haunting and magical.
