The David Drumgold Variety Show Comes to The Puffin Cultural Forum With A Special Pride Edition

originally published: 05/30/2024


(TEANECK, NJ) -- To commemorate Pride month, The David Drumgold Variety Show is coming to Teaneck's Puffin Cultural Forum for a special one night only Pride edition on June 22, 2024 at 7:00pm.  The show hearkens back to the variety shows of the 60s & 70s – like The Carol Burnett Show, The Flip Wilson Show, and The Cher Show. Good old fashion talent, cheer and the escapism of a GOOD TIME!  This show celebrates everything that is magical about the art, featuring the very best of comedy, drag, dance, world-class musicians and singers.

The show will feature New York Metropolitan Opera Soprano, Brandie Inez Sutton, Yasuhiko Fukuoka, Diana Taylor, and Pissi Myles.

Suggested Donation: $10. RSVP online here or call: 201-836-3499. Puffin Cultural Forum is located at 20 Puffin Way in Teaneck, New Jersey.

Brandie Inez Sutton who has been hailed by Opera News for her “sumptuous, mid-weight soprano,” and by The New York Times for her “warm, ample voice,” “ravishing performance” and “distinctive earthy coloring,” Ms. Sutton’s is one of the classical world’s most impressive new stars.

Yasuhiko Fukuoka is a versatile pianist and in-demand composer who is recognized both onstage and off for his virtuosic talents.  His emotional, story-driven music has captivated audiences throughout the world. His works have appeared at prestigious venues from Lincoln Center to Festival de Cannes Court Métrage, spanning many genres of music from orchestral to electronica. New York Times Stephen Holden declared, "brilliant pianist, Yasuhiko Fukuoka, found a seamless blend of folk, classical, blues, and vaudeville styles."
