based on the book: DREAMBOY: My life in 3 Easy Payments tells the journey of my life using music, video & slides

2. My Life in 3 Easy Payments
A new one-man show by critically acclaimed spoken word performance artist
and former QVC shopping host Dale Madison. Madison speaks to the pop
culture phenomenon of reality shows and the quest for fame at any cost. If
you have basked in the shallow cloak of fame, can you ever really recapture it?
Inspired by Sunset Boulevard, Valley of the Dolls, Diana Ross, All About Eve,
African storytelling and his own unique experience of selling products on live
television. Madison offers a humorous interactive story through spoken word,
songs, storytelling and video footage of his life based on his memoirs,
DREAMBOY: My Life as a QVC Host & Other Greatest Hits.

3. My Life in 3 Easy Payments
Asks profound questions with no easy answers. Do the products we
purchase reflect who we are sexually, culturally, and emotionally? If
so, can we ask for a refund? What is the real cost of fame? Do we
have to sell our souls, or at least our marketable souls, to gain
commercial acceptance? Well, as Debbie Allen’s says, from the hit
movie, “You want fame? Well, fame costs." How much are you
winning to pay? Dale Madison, like a flamboyant elixir salesman,
sweetens the deal with a bargain you can not resist -- Three easy
payments.
“Sunset Boulevard meets the world of home shopping”
