Damn The Light's tribute show is a transportive musical story-telling experience celebrating the song catalogue of the legendary singer-songwriter Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac. Stevie was named "The Reigning Queen of Rock and Roll" and deemed one of the "100 Greatest Singers of All Time” by Rolling Stone. As a solo artist, she has garnered eight Grammy nominations and, with Fleetwood Mac, a further five. She is the only female artist to be inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice.

In this groundbreaking theatrical tribute, the audience is taken on a journey that reveals the origins and backstory of Stevie Nicks’ and Fleetwood Mac’s biggest hits. Stories include time spent with the likes of Joe Walsh, Don Henley and collaborations with the late great Tom Petty and Prince.

MaryAnne Piccolo commands the stage as Stevie Nicks. She leaves nothing unwanted when it comes to honoring this rock-and-roll icon. Embodying her mystical uninhibited stage presence, signature vocals, iconic style and an undeniable command of the stage, she delivers the full “Stevie Experience.” Multi-instrumentalist and producer GREKO partners with Piccolo as Lindsey Buckingham.

Piccolo and Greko are annual headliners for the worlds largest and longest running Stevie Nicks/ Fleetwood Mac tribute the world "Night of 1000 Stevies." The festival style event is produced by New York Nightlife legends Chi Chi Valenti and Johnny Dynell (Jackie Factory), which is now in its thirty-second year. Damn The Light's tribute has also been seen aboard Royal Caribbean Cruise Line.

In early 2024 Netflix released the riveting documentary “The Greatest Night in Pop” which chronicles the making of the 1986 hit single “We Are The World.” Over $63 million dollars was raised by USA for Africa to relieve hunger and famine in Ethiopia. In response to the film’s revisiting of this project, Marymount Manhattan College’s Theatre Arts Department Pop/Rock Students will take the stage and pay tribute to the artists who came together for a bigger cause. The audience will be transported back to the 1980s and hear the hits of Lionel Richie, Hall & Oats, Cyndi Lauper, Kenny Loggins, Michael Jackson and more! …And yes, of course you will hear “THE” title song live!

NIGHT OF 1000 STEVIES returns for a Nordic themed 32nd annual edition on May 4. NIGHT OF 1000 STEVIES 32: NORTHERN STAR is produced by show founders CHI CHI VALENTI and JOHNNY DYNELL and THE JACKIE FACTORY. 1000 STEVIES is the largest and most beloved STEVIE NICKS fan event in the world. NOTS is the Stevie Nicks celebration of your dreams – a riot of shawls, lace, twirling, tambourines and great performance. Back at home venue IRVING PLAZA, doors will open at 8 PM and shows begin at 9.

THE THEME

NORTHERN STAR was inspired by a trip our producers took to Sweden last June at the time of the famous celebration MIDSUMMER. Like the crowd at 1000 STEVIES, flower crowns, pagan gowns and joy were The Look. The Jackie Factory’s “Nordic Stevie Fantasy” will mix Goddess NICKS Magic with that of Norse Goddesses like FREYJA (pictured on our poster) and a bit of Game of Thrones. The show will feature performances along with the evening-length Stevie/Fleetwood dance floor. Other traditional rites will include our Tambourine Toss and Battle of 1000 Stevies.

THE PERFORMERS

Our bill is now complete for NOTS 32 including many Legends of “The Night.” NOTS fans will recognize audience favorites like Diva Songbird AMBER MARTIN and the extraordinary XAVIER SMITH. There are “Rock and Realness” Stevie/Lindsey duo MARYANNE PICCOLO and MIKE GREKO. Method Songstress BRIDGET BARKAN returns with her merry band DUSTY and SHANE. New Orleans based burlesque duo KITTEN + LOU are back along with Boston area chanteuse and witchy event producer NIKI LUPARELLI.

Gracing the stage are two dance performances from recent show stars ANGEL LINA (lead dancer RACHEL KLEIN THEATRE) and JMV, gifted choreographer and dancer. JMV made their NOTS debut dancing with SHERRY VINE and will continue the drag flame so important to NOTS. Crooner JOHNNY QUINLAN (No. Carolina) rounds out the returning stars.

On to the 2024 debuts! DOROTHY BISHOP is a “female female impersonator” who often interprets Stevie and an operatically trained soprano. New Orleans based British Burlesque star PINKY DEVILLE will repeat her recent NOTS NOLA triumph, and singer/songwriter TARA HACK solos after singing background vocals last year for IT WAS ROMANCE. Finally, trilingual (Sanskrit, Bengali and English) mantra singer EKAYANI will create her own unique take on a Stevie classic.

“Enchantresses of Ceremony” EDITRIX ABBY and PAUL ALEXANDER will assist show founder Valenti in keeping the white winged talent moving. The All-Stevie/All Fleetwood dance floor will be spun by longtime NOTS DJ SAMMY JO and special guest TOMMIE SUNSHINE.
