Ariana and the Rose  – The Breakup Variety Hour

Brooklyn’s art-pop diva and nightlife superhero Ariana and the Rose welcomes listening audiences to The Breakup Variety Hour, her comical, irreverent, and sincere new concept album framed as a comedic auditory self-help guide through the stages of a breakup.

What initially started as a series of “piano chat”-style viral videos during the pandemic, blossomed into an interactive, hilarious, and emotionally vulnerable live show that got its start at a sold out performance at the legendary Joe’s Pub in NYC a year ago. The new album is a recorded adaptation of the show, and precedes a new fall tour and return performance at Joe’s Pub on October 15th.

Calling to mind the wonder of classic female-hosted variety shows (Cher’s 70s program or the Carol Burnett Show), it’s a hysterical yet moving one-woman show that bridges pop music, stand-up comedy and cabaret to make something healing and singular. Of the new album, Billboard said that Ariana “hilariously walks through heartbreak, while TMRW Magazine called it “a dazzling new concept album that fuses synth-pop with stand-up, soul-searching with strobe lights.”

The new album is a perfect portrait of the colorful charm and undeniable talents of Ariana and the Rose, which has already earned her past press love from Vogue, Paper Magazine and Nylon.
