| Visceral Entertainment presents a one-night-only, sneak peek concert event of the Broadway bound new musical, Little Black Book, based on the life of legendary Hollywood Madam, Heidi Fleiss. Starring Tony Award Nominee Orfeh (Legally Blonde The Musical, Chicago, Pretty Woman) as Heidi Fleiss, the private concert will take place on Tuesday, February 4 at the iconic NYC rock venue, the Bowery Ballroom (6 Delancey Street).

The Parody Musical), co-conceived by Recce and Will Nunziata (White Rose, Figaro: A New Musical), and directed by Tony Award Nominee Kristin Hanggi (Rock of Ages). Little Black Book is a scorching theatrical rock concert starring the infamous, former Hollywood Madam, Heidi Fleiss. With a kickass rock band fueling her fury, Heidi bares it all: the betrayals, the manipulation, and the exploitation of a ruthless industry. Raw, rebellious, unapologetically electric - and ultimately moving - Little Black Book is Heidi’s full hearted revenge anthem. Are you in the book? Little Black Book will also feature appearances by Nikki Kimbrough, Sarah Kleist, Amanda Lopez, Lauren Robinson, and Zuri Washington.
