It is that time of the year again folks and I couldn’t be more excited! New Year’s Eve is always a big night for Funtown and this year is no exception. We have three big events lined up that will include some very special performances from many different Funtown artists.

First up? The Crayola FACTORY!!

There will be crayons everywhere… including a giant illuminated crayon that will drop from the sky in celebration of the New Year! If you like crayons and fun, and celebrating and fireworks you should join us because while all of this is happening Jen Web, Rachelle, Viva, and Melicent will be fire hooping for the crowd! It shall be quite a spectacle. The girls will also be glow hooping inside the Crayola FACTORY and offering up an interactive hooping session that everyone can join in on. Come out early and stay late if you want to see both of Rachelle’s custom UV dance pieces. We are bringing some professional UV LED lights into the venue for two beautiful dance performances.

Next up? The National Constitution Center!

This will be the third year that I’ve been asked to provide specialty performers for the Glitter City Gala and the party keeps getting better every year. You really have to experience it to believe it. The view of the fireworks at Midnight is spectacular!! This year Jen Web and Rachelle will be performing with some brand new feather fans. They should arrive any day now and I will definitely post some photos and maybe even a video so you can see what they are all about before their debut on stage. Trust me when I say this… their performances will be hot! They’ll be glow hooping throughout the night as well. I swear every time I book Jen Web and Rachelle for a performance I am blown away. These girls are seriously talented and a pleasure to work with!

Take a look at how much fun people had last year at the Glitter City Gala!

And last but certainly not least… The Crystal Tea Room!!

NYEPhilly.com asked me to bring that Funtown vibe back to 12Midnight for the third year in a row. We did fire dancing and glow hooping last year so I really wanted to book a different type of performance. I’m all about bringing that WOW factor to events and that is why I decided to hire Kirk Dupuis, an airbrush artist with over 30 years experience, to lead this event. He will spend many hours bodypainting and creating custom costuming and accessories for two special Funtown dancers. When they are finished being transformed live in front of the audience the dancers will jump on stage and help take the dance party to the next level!

Here is the official video from last year:

12Midnight sells out every year so if you want to attend you should get your tickets while you still can. There are less than 100 tickets left!

After a full day and night of preparing and performing we’re still gonna save enough energy to finish off the night right! We don’t have any afterhour plans as of yet… so if you are interested in partying with Funtown let me know! I’m all ears.
