Ryan Raftery
Direct from New York City, writer–performer Ryan Raftery will bring his acclaimed show, The Rise and Fall (and Rise) of Martha Stewart.From her humble beginnings in Nutley, New Jersey, to her empire-building years in Westport, Connecticut, to her highly-publicized stint in federal prison, The Rise and Fall (and Rise) of Martha Stewart tells the fascinating story of the woman who changed the way we live our lives by daring us to try harder. Set to the music of artists as varied as Beyoncé, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Adele, and Metallica, The Rise and Fall (and Rise) of Martha Stewart is a chronicle of epically blind ambition.
Hailed as “a one-man musical juggernaut” (New York Daily News) and “a force of nature all his own” (Interview magazine), Ryan Raftery is the creator of the smash-hit Anna Wintour, Andy Cohen, and Calvin Klein musicals. A native New Yorker and graduate of New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, Raftery has been seen on television in “Ugly Betty,” “What I Like About You,” “Malcolm in the Middle,” and, most memorably, on “Law & Order: SVU” where he warmed hearts all across America as Dennis Faber, the Amish teenager with measles. He has written eight shows, including the aforementioned Wintour, Cohen, and Klein musicals, as well as Ryan Raftery & Friends: A Solo Act, Ryan Raftery’s It Gets Worse and Ryan Raftery: King of the Jews.
