BIG GAY HUDSON VALLEY CELEBRATES THE MUSIC & LEGACY OF GEORGE MICHAEL BY PRESENTING A NEW SHOW FEATURING TODD ALSUP

Freedom: The George Michael Experience Kicks Off Pride Season at City Winery Hudson Valley

Big Gay Hudson Valley is bringing a brand new live music experience to City Winery this spring when it presents FREEDOM: THE GEORGE MICHAEL EXPERIENCE at City Winery Hudson Valley in Montgomery. This electrifying, immersive musical event celebrates the life and iconic songs of one of pop music’s brightest and sexiest stars leading up to what would have been the pop star’s 60th birthday this coming June.

Conceived and performed by New York pop singer/songwriter Todd Alsup, this upbeat “club music cabaret” traces Michael’s trailblazing history, weaving historical multimedia clips together with 20 of his most unforgettable hits - all sung live by Alsup. The show debuted in June 2022, entertaining a triumphant 15-week sold out run at Provincetown’s legendary Crown & Anchor, and since then has traveled across North America featuring performances in Palm Springs, Puerto Vallarta and New York.

The show runs 75 with no intermission. It contains material intended for mature audiences and is appropriate for anyone 16+.

Singer, songwriter and keyboardist Todd Alsup is a Detroit native and a proud New Yorker. His vibrant original songs and fresh arrangements of classic R&B and pop tunes have endeared him to audiences around the world.

For nearly a year and a half during the pandemic, Mr. Alsup took to the internet and offered weekly livestream concerts to his fans. To keep himself stimulated, he constructed intricate and lovingly detailed shows built around the songs and life stories of his favorite pop artists, including George Michael.
