THE JACKIE FACTORY NYC is thrilled to announce the full bill for the 20th annual edition of the STEVIE NICKS spectacle NIGHT OF 1000 STEVIES. This year's moonlit, milestone edition was inspired by one of Stevie's most enduring and iconic songs, SISTERS OF THE MOON. Though Stevie has not performed this song much of late, it has remained a showpiece and staple of some of NOTS most thrilling performers past and present.
The 2010 bill features Legends of Stevie Realness from all eras of the show, and honors them all, our Sisters (and Brothers) of the Moon. Our returning performers are BELLADONNA (CALIFORNIA), SHERRY VINE and EPIPHANY, JUSTIN BOND, THE HO-HOS, GYPSY WILDE, JAZMEN FLOWERS (MISSISSIPI), SWEETIE, ADAM DUGAS, AMBER MARTIN & MIA THEODORATUS, HEATHER LITTEER, DD SPARKS (IOWA), ST.

Also making her NOTS debut this year is the director/choreographer RACHEL KLEIN, who will create the opening number with her theater company RACHEL KLEIN PRODUCTIONS.

Downtown Divas extraordinaire SUSANNE BARTSCH and KENNY KENNY are ruling Sunday nights with their weekly VANDAM party and providing a dressed-up night out for their faithful followers and new acolytes alike. A 2009 BEST OF NEW YORK now one year old, VANDAM is wildly popular and insanely well-dressed in the most CREATIVE way. An integral part of the magic is DJ JOHNNY DYNELL rocking the dancefloor with his unique mix of what MICHAEL MUSTO dubbed "oldish new and newish old". Other weekly highlights include visually stunning guest performers, fabulous tableau from DIRTY MARTINI, AJOSHUA and CHUCK ATTIX and JORDAN FOX upstairs, and a downstairs DISCO DUNGEON helmed by DESI MONSTER and LADYFAG. Add free admission, complimentary cocktails 10-10:30 and the marvelously mixed crowd and this is a weekend MUST.
