DEBORAH GIBSON TEARS DOWN THE HOUSE

Famed Writer Mark Bego With Deborah Gibson

80s-music icon DEBORAH GIBSON wowed the SRO-crowd at Manhattan's Culture Club last night, with a performance that included all of her hits, as well as a new track entitled "Famous" that had the crowd totally in sync with her. 'Interestingly enough, Gibson's "Electric Youth" drew the most applause and had the crowd singing along. Talk about your iconic-80s-song! The song is the name of a play, based on Gibson's music, that is opening in Masy at The Starlight Theatre in Orlando. She performs this Monday night at BROADWAY FOR MEDICINE, alongside BETTY BUCKLEY, JOHN McDANIEL (Rosie O'Donnell show); MALCOLM GETS; ANDREA McARDLE; HUGH PANARO (Lestat); and, LISA VROMAN (Phantom Of The Opera). Celebrity-author MARK BEGO, who's new bio BILLY JOEL: THE BIOGRAPHY (Thunder's Mouth Press) is out in June, and who wrote Gibson's biography BETWEEN THE LINES, attended the show.
