Isaac Mizrahi
Isaac Mizrahi has worked extensively in the entertainment industry as an actor, host, writer, designer and producer for over 30 years. On Monday, August 26, at 8 p.m., he returns to the Bay Street Stage in Sag Harbor with his show, “Queen Size,” as part of the Music Mondays concert series.
The show will feature Mr. Mizrahi performing classic songs by Leonard Bernstein, Cat Stevens, Jimmy Webb, John Kander, Cole Porter, James Taylor and Jerome Kern. Once again, he’ll be joined by his band of jazz musicians, led by Ben Waltzer. With all new stories and observations, Mr. Mizrahi will also have a fresh stock of swag items to re-gift to audience members. No topics will be off-limits: politics, sex, prescription drugs, millennials.
As the New York Times noted “he is determined to challenge the cultural status quo and help blaze a path into a more liberated future …”
Mr. Mizrahi is the subject and co-creator of “Unzipped,” a documentary following the making of his Fall 1994 collection which received an award at the Sundance Film Festival. He hosted his own television talk show “The Isaac Mizrahi Show” for seven years, has written three books, and has made countless appearances in movies and on television. He served as a judge on “Project Runway: All-Stars” for the series’ entire seven-season run.
On stage, Mr. Mizrahi has directed productions of “A Little Night Music” and “The Magic Flute” for the Opera Theatre of St. Louis. Annually, he directs and narrates his production of the children’s classic “Peter and The Wolf” at The Guggenheim Museum in New York. He has performed cabaret at Café Carlyle, Joe’s Pub, Bay Street Theater and City Winery and recently toured throughout the US and Canada in spring 2019. Mr. Mizrahi has his own production company, Isaac Mizrahi Entertainment, under which he has several projects in development in television, theater and literature. His New York Times bestselling memoir, “I.M.,’ was published in February 2019. For more information, visit HelloIsaac.com
