The breakup Variety Hour

Step into the glitter-filled world of The Breakup Variety Hour, the electrifying one-woman show and album from pop artist and native New Yorker Ariana and the Rose. A love letter to heartbreak, healing, and the wild ride in between, this immersive spectacle blends music, comedy, and a touch of chaos—think Carrie Bradshaw meets Bette Midler at a disco dive bar. Known for cultivating a vibrant community of women and kindred spirits, Ariana turns heartache into a high-energy, neon-lit celebration of resilience.Premiered to a sold out Joe’s Pub in NYC, Oct 2024, with soaring synth-pop anthems, razor-sharp wit, and a splash of downtown glam, The Breakup Variety Hour is more than a show—it’s a movement, a cathartic party, and the ultimate reminder that the best revenge is living fabulously.

Press Highlights

Ariana and the Rose predicted the Dance-Pop revival...[she] is ready to ascend from indie act to mainstream star. The Brooklyn-based pop singer released her debut album Lonely Hearts Club, an impressive dance LP packed with hummable hooks and empowering lyrics that her foremothers (like Madonnaa, Robyn and Kyle Minoguee) would be proud of.”

The album eschews second guessing in favor of bold statements, from the inclusivity anthem “Every Body” to the unrepentant “If New York Is Dead, Then Bury Me With Her” to the confident dancefloor come-on “Cosmic Lover.”
