About this Event
The Wig, The Bitch & The Meltdown is a satirical look behind the scenes of the fictional reality model competition show Model Muse, and a global phenomenon. Seen through the eyes of our moral compass narrator, Pablo Michaels, the heart of the production in the helter-skelter world of Model Muse, we see behind-the-scenes and backstage shenanigans of the fashion/reality TV world. As "The Fixer,” Pablo is the man everyone turns to in a crisis. Struggling to hold the fledgling production together, he juggles his duties to his “BFF,” the ruthless and vulnerable antihero Keisha Kash, his Supermodel boss, and to his soul.
